The late Professor Lasswell wrote this book decades ago, but his obserations have stood strong according to the political systems of the present day. To Lasswell, politics is not an esoteric, complicated subject, but rather a study in which every citizen plays an integral role. Politics is truly as simply as Lasswell's title. Perhaps most intriguing is Lasswell's ability to incorporate the analogs of major (and minor) historical events into his political theory. He engages events ranging from the Civil War to the French Revolution. Thus, Lasswell integrates politics into history, and history into politics. In short, the book is just as effective a tool for political scientists as it is for historians.

This books is enough to understand the forecast in policy analysis. Anyway, I was hoping a more systematic overview.
