A prescient thoughtful and chilling examination of the current state of the world If there are lessons from history now is the time when we need to heed them so that we do not end up in another Great Power war because of the fatal combinations of jingoism fear fatalism and sheer stupidity that set off the first major war of the 20th century. The great majority of people alive today have come of age in a world of remarkable stability presided over by either one or two superpowers. This is not to say the world has been peaceful but it has to an extent been predictable. As an increasing number of Great Powers now jostle for regional supremacy our world has become more fragile unpredictable - and combustible. The great majority of people alive today have come of age in a world of remarkable stability presided over by either one or two superpowers. This is not to say the world has been peaceful but it has to an extent been predictable.

To understand the threats that face us in this complex new terrain we must look to the lessons of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century - a time when Great Powers clashed and sought regional dominance when nationalism and populism were on the rise and many felt that globalization had failed them: a time in other words that carries eerie parallels with our own.
