The essential new book by CNN anchor and chief national security analyst Jim Sciutto identifying a new more uncertain global order with reporting on the frontlines of power from existing wars to looming ones across the globe. The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 dawned what Francis Fukuyama called The End of History.” Three decades later Jim Sciutto said on CNN’s air as the Ukraine war began that we are living in a 1939 moment.” History never ended—it barely paused—and the global order as we long have known it is now gone. Powerful nations are determined to assert dominance on the world stage. And as their push for power escalates a new order will affect everyone across the globe. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is a part of it but in reality this power struggle impacts every corner of our world—from Helsinki to Beijing from Australia to the North Pole. This is a battle with many fronts: in the Arctic in the oceans and across the skies on man-made islands and redrawn maps and in tech and cyberspace. Through globe-spanning exclusive interviews with dozens of political military and intelligence leaders Sciutto defines our times as a return of great power conflict a definitive break between the post–Cold War era and an entirely new and uncertain one.” With savvy thorough in-person reporting he follows-up his 2019 bestseller The Shadow War: Inside Russia’s and China's Secret Operations to Defeat America which focused on the covert tactics of a hidden conflict. The Return of Great Powers analyzes a historic and visible shift in real time. It details the realities of this new post–post–Cold War era the increasingly aligned Russian and Chinese governments and the flashpoint of a new global nuclear arms race. And it poses a question: As we consider uncertain even terrifying outcomes will it be possible for the West and Russia and China to prevent a new World War?
