Keith Ansel-Pearson, An Introduction to Nietzsche as a Political Thinker, Cambridge University Press, 1994.

Excerpt:

Nietzsche is an ambiguous and paradoxical thinker whose writings never cease to disturb, provoke, and inspire, even when they challenge one’s innermost convictions. He has been a key figure on the intellectual and cultural landscape for over a hundred years, and his thought has to be reckoned with. As Martin Heidegger once put it, everyone who thinks today does so in Nietzsche’s light and shadow, whether they are ‘for’ him or ‘against’ him. He is important be he was, first and foremost, a philosopher of life, not because he is now academically respectable and has all the dubious status of a ‘modern master’.
