Hii,

Western Political Thought by Brian Nelson: The writer starts from Socrates, then touches Plato, Aristotle, in that order. The book has some of the best sections in Rousseau, Marx, and Machiavelli. It has a nice flow and is fun to read. You need to make notes for reproducing it on the question paper in your examination.

Plato to Marx by Subrata Mukherjee: I have glanced through the book once when I caught it in a bookstore near my house. The first thing you will notice is the easy language and for people who are not that adept and comfortable in the English language, this book is a gem.

A history of Political Theory by G.H. Sabine: This is an advanced level book for people who are really interested to deepen their understanding in Western Political Theory. There is a well-known thumb rule that Western Political Theory is best read by Western authors and Indian Political Theory by Indian authors.

ALL THE BEST!!
