Race for the Iron Throne: Political and Historical Analysis of "A Game of Thrones"
How would you like to read A Game of Thrones with a PhD by your side?
Steven Attewell, creator of Race for the Iron Throne (racefortheironthrone.wordpress.com), is one of the most insightful scholars in political theory and history, but instead of devoting his talents to academia, he's delving into George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire saga to give the most comprehensive deconstruction – and explanation – yet offered.
Each one of Thrones's 73 chapters is broken down in meticulous detail in four key areas. The Political and Historical Analyses explore the political ramifications that each character's decisions entail while digging into the real-world historical incidents that inspired Martin's narrative twists and turns. What If? offers up a tantalizing look at how these political and historical elements could have played out in dozens of alternative scenarios, underscoring the majesty and complexity of Martin's storytelling. And Book vs. Show looks at the key differences – both good and bad – between the story as originally conceived on the printed page and as realized in HBO's Game of Thrones.
At nearly 204,000 words, it's literally impossible to imagine a more exhaustive or authoritative reading companion for any novel ever before published.
Note: there are spoilers for all five published novels in the Song of Ice and Fire series.

A very thorough and useful companion to A Game of Thrones. Either to be read alongside the text or on it's own. Fair warning, this thing contains spoilers for future books in the series, and seems to have been written from 2014-2018 depending on when it was published online.
Yes, this can be found online, for free. Race For the Iron Throne is a website that seems to be progressing through the series at large. Fair enough. Having this as an actual on hand book though works wonderfully for me.
The analysis involved covers both the political side of the story, and any historical comparisons that might be found within. Each chapter is covered seperately, and a comparison to the show's equivilant of a given sequence is also included. Steven Attewell has a pHd in History, and it certainly shows. Very few chapters go by with sparse historical information, and while it isn't necessarily what George R.R Martin had in mind during the creation of the world of A Song of Ice and Fire, the perpsective is both helpful and insightful.
With all this praise, you may be wondering why the 4 stars instead of 5. Unfortunately this book started life as a blog first, and whether the editor in charge of the book dropped the ball hard or the text from the site was simply copy/pasted, there are numerous spelling and grammatical errors, several of which jump out. This is a fan work, first and foremost, and it's a shame that such well thought out content should be hampered so.
However, if you're a fan of the books/show, this is certainly an interesting read as we wait for the Winds of Winter.

I heard about this book when Steve Attewell appeared on Boars, Gore, and Swords - my favorite Game of Thrones podcast. On that episode he mentioned how both GoT and the books pull from a variety of historical periods, not just dark ages England. The fact that he is a real historian analyzing the books seemed too great to pass up so I got the book.
And it has been a very great read. Each chapter tackles the corresponding chapter in A Game of Thrones. After a very funny intro paragraph to what happened in the chapter, he gives a Political Analysis within the world of ASOIAF, A historical context section, and a counter-factual What-If section. He ends with a comparison to the TV show - something that I think will get harder and harder past the first book as the divergence increases.
The Political Analysis have been great in explaining why the characters do what they do and pointing out when GRRM needs them to do something for plot vs when the characters are actually constrained by the politics of the world they live in. In the historical sections what elevated the book is the fact that he doesn't just go the easy route of comparing to the York and Lancaster War of Roses. He pulls from various parts of history - whereever the best parallels exist. Sometimes he even pulls from mythology or archetypes to discuss things about how Arya is on a Hero's Journey and how Sansa is a deconstruction of a Disney (or Romantic) Princess.
Game of Thrones is a very fun TV show, but if you read the books in A Song of Ice and Fire you tend to either give up partway or become a fanatic. I can think of no better companion for ASOIAF fanatic than this book.

This book is an absolute necessity for anyone looking to really delve into the world of the ASOIAF series. Attewell knows Westeros extremely well, which can be invaluable in unraveling and understanding the political and personal motivations of a diverse cast of characters in an extremely complex and sometimes intentionally chaotic setting. What's more, his position as a historian allows him to draw instructive parallels between the medieval period as experienced in real life and the world Martin has skillfully interwoven through an amalgam of ancient, medieval, modern, and fantastic events and stories. The analysis progresses chapter by chapter, providing favorite quotes, an (often humorous) synopsis, political analysis, historical analysis, what if scenarios, and a brief comparison between the events in the books vs. how they are presented in the Game of Thrones television show. Some thoughts on each:
Political Analysis
This is the substance of, and to me the most valuable aspect of, the book. Attewell breaks down character decisions while providing the context for how the various political, religious, etc. forces function in the world of Westeros and beyond. There is A LOT going on in this series. The multiple conspiracies (Littlefinger, Varys/Illyrio, Lannister, Renly/Tyrell) alone are sometimes dizzying in their complexity. Attewell deftly maneuvers among them, explaining motivations while never losing sight of Martin's genre deconstruction and the powerful human element of the book. He also brings up and recommends research by other writers in the ASOIAF community. Best of all, rather than be a Stannis or Robb Stark booster, Attewell is decidedly on Team Smallfolk. This allows him to both objectively analyze story lines and acknowledge the absurdity and atrocities of war on a basic human level.
Historical Analysis
Here is where the author's educational background really comes into play. A number of historical events and individuals are examined as inspiration for book events. In particular, there is much discussion of The Wars of the Roses and Richard, Duke of York. It's interesting to see how Martin chose aspects of various historical periods to create an original yet familiar setting. While enjoyable, these sections can be somewhat dense for non-history buffs. As Attewell points out, if you think Westeros is complicated, the dynastic system of the Middle Ages is Westeros on steroids!
What Ifs
At turns tantalizing and heartbreaking, the book explores alternate scenarios for many of the major and minor choices throughout "A Game of Thrones". They range from the incredible (King Eddard Stark on the Iron Throne?!?!) to the terrifying (White Walkers overrun the North!) Some of them are more minor in nature, such as varying levels of troop strength or the sequence of events. Ultimately it's hard to tell how likely many of them are, but they are still fun to think about!
Book vs. Show
For me, this was the only lacking section of analysis. Part of that is the nature of the first season of the show, which often stays pretty faithful to the book with some key exceptions. There are some good points made, however, and I feel like this section will become more robust and satisfying as the analysis continues into the future books and seasons.
I decided to give this book 4 stars. The quality of the writing and its content is 5 star material, but there are a few issues that brought down the final score. In addition to the Book vs. Show section, the lost star ultimately came down to:
Formatting and Grammatical Issues - As I understand it, this book is a collection of essays originally posted on the author's blog. That being the case, I think there could have been a little more care taken in the transition to ebook. There are a fair amount of typographical errors in the text, and sometimes in quotations from "A Game of Thrones" and other books. Also, while there are many helpful links to wikis and essays around the web, some seem not to have been functioning (though this could just be a problem with my Kindle).
No Concluding Statement - Maybe it's too much to ask/overkill after such an exhaustive analysis, but I thought it would have been nice for Attewell to offer a few closing thoughts on the book as a whole and how it fits into the series. It also would have been nice to hear a few teasers about where things are heading in "A Clash of Kings".
No Bibliography or Recommended Reading - This is a minor gripe, but I would have liked for the author to provide some resources for readers looking to further explore the ASOIAF universe and the historical events brought up throughout the book. There are a few sources sprinkled throughout the book and in the notes, but a central list would have been great.
That's it for my review. All told this was a great read! I underlined many choice quotes, and I intend on referencing it extensively the next time I start a reread of the series!
UPDATE 10/18/17 I've just completed a re-read of this in conjunction with a re-read of A Game of Thrones. I read them in tandem, reading the AGOT chapter first and then reading Steven's analysis of the chapter. I found it to be hugely helpful in gaining an in-depth understanding of both the political and military situation in the novel. He also does a great job of explaining some of the literary techniques, specifically involving Sansa's storyline. My biggest criticism is that he sometimes fails to appreciate the importance of the more fantastical storylines (specifically Bran's). Also, I must admit that I skimmed or skipped a lot of the historical analysis of the War of the Roses the second time through. It's good, but a little too extensive for my taste. To give you an idea of how helpful I find the book, my Kindle version contains 407 separate highlights!

Steven Attewell offers a fascinating chapter-by-chapter analysis of the first book of George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" series, taken from his "Race for the Iron Throne" blog. Each chapter consists of an essay detailing the events of the corresponding chapter of Martin's book, offering a political analysis of the ongoing events in the book, discusses the historical background that Martin utilizes in his work, then goes into detail on "what-if" scenarios concerning events of the chapter. Attewell's essays are well-written and informative, and are recommended to any and all fans of Martin's work.
There are only two complaints with the work; first, the Kindle edition has quite a few grammatical errors and spacing/punctuation issues, and several of the pictures are either omitted, or, for some reason, left in, but unable to be seen in Kindle format without errors. Second, while not Attewell's fault, some of the best insights he gives into Martin's work come from responses to user comments to his essays on his blog, which obviously could not be included here.
Overall, though, this book is excellent for any fans of "A Song of Ice and Fire," and is an excellent option to check out while waiting for Martin's next book.

This book is a collection of blog posts from the blog of the late Steven Atwell, Race for the Iron Throne, which was a chapter-by-chapter analysis of the A Song of Ice and Fire books thru the lens of a medieval historian (Atwell had a PhD in said topic). I used to read the blog pretty religiously in highschool and early college, but my interest was re-ignited after hearing of Atwell's death and finishing my latest re-read of the books.
Each chapter in the book is equivalent to one of the 72 chapters in the first novel, a Game of Thrones. Atwell starts by recapping the events of the chapter, diving into a political analysis of the chapter's contents (although political analysis maybe isn't always the most accurate term, as this is also where a lot of the analysis of themes and character comes in to), then drawing historical parallels (often with the Wars of the Roses, but also with Mongols/Huns for Dany's chapters, and Hadrian's Wall for the Nights Watch). Atwell then moves on to a "What If" section where he looks at the contingencies of how alternate character choices may have played out. Finally, Atwell makes a comparison to that chapter's scenes in the HBO TV, which are mainly positive this early, as the show is very close to source material here.
The political analysis was excellent, and really led me to a deeper understanding of Sansa and Arya's stories (although I fear we will never get how these end). The historical analysis section particularly drew my attention on this re-read of the blog posts, especially the paralells with the wars of the roses. It seems like real history might be my salvation while I wait for the Winds of Winter. I didn't find the what if sections to be as interesting on this pass, mainly because I understand what Martin is trying to do with the story better (so the alternate character choices seem much less plausible), and I don't care for the HBO show, so I generally skimmed those sections.
So why not five stars? There are quite a few typos and grammatical mistakes present in the book, and the material is generally not changed from the Race for the Iron Throne blog. Not worth paying money for (although if you have kindle unlimited this is a moot point).

All that I am writing here, has been suggested by a brother, an ace banker.
Say, if someone were to present you the following problem and provide plausible replies in an MCQ pattern:
Who would have been in a lucrative position subsequent to Ned's demise?
1. Cersei?
Ans: No. The whole North could have risen up in revolt. Cersei needed ‘Control’, not ‘Chaos’.
2. Varrys?
Ans: No. Varrys desired order. Not Chaos. Not by a long stretch.
3. Joffrey?
Ans: No. Ned's existence was a severe intimidation to his claim. But who would listen to a deserted person of the Night's watch? Of course whether or not Joffrey could think on his own is disputed.
4. Tywin?
Ans: No. He was not in good terms with Ned but waging a war was wholly in contradiction of Tywin's nature.
5. Littlefinger?
Ans: Yes. Not only would the North revolt, but there’d also be a reasonable chance of Baratheons joining the show in addition to Arya. And this could readily be as good as Robert's rebellion resulting, in Lannister defeat. The end result? Chaos.
As far as I am concerned, Littlefinger initiated the idea of "killing" Ned.
And another question after this predicament:
Why didn’t Littlefinger mention to Tywin about Arya?
Ans: At that point Lannister and Starks were at war. Ned was already dead. Sansa was in Lannister’s Grip. If Tywin would be aware of Arya's identity then she would be also in the Lannister fold. This would in conclusion result in an inequity. And also, the Starks might have readily surrendered.
What would that ultimately result in? It would lead to a solid reign of Joffrey with Tywin as Regent. A Perfect dystopian order. Is it not?
And Littlefinger detested Order, as much as we know.
If you seek to obsess your brain with such hosts of questions, read this book. It will make you crazy.

(Read in parallel with
Game of Thrones
)
A marvelous, comprehensive, and enjoyable companion to Game of Thrones, highly recommended to readers who want to dig to a deeper level of understanding of both the novel and its context. I had previously read and enjoyed the summaries as blog entries, but they work just as well when read in parallel with the novel. I would not, however, recommend reading this before finishing the five current Song of Ice and Fire novels. Even if you're not concerned with spoilers, there are numerous references to subsequent events that won't make much sense without having read that far. The text hasn't been updated much from its bloggy origin, and there are a few rough bits as a result: missing images, references to nonexistent links, typos, and such. These are ultimately inconsequential, but I do hold out hope that Attewell will be willing and able to revisit the text after the entire cycle is complete. Highly recommended for anyone interested in a deeper understanding of ASOIAF.

Really good analysis from the perspective of a social democratic, medieval history nerd. Does a good job of deconstructing some of the popular criticism of the various characters. Could have maybe used an editor for the transition from blogpost to book.

Read this along with me AGoT reread
And I'm so glad I did.
While the British education system meant I knew lot of the historical facts about the war of the roses I found myself surprised and delighted by historical connections I had not made.

Some interesting material, though the grotesque editing failures ("John Dunne"? lol) and terrible kindle conversion (all pictures are replaced with question marks, etc.) are a bit distracting.

A very comprehensive analysis of A Game of Thrones. It's a slog with some of the boring chapters but very enjoyable.
