Review:

"Reading Kagan is like reading the work of a very clever Marxist: the logic is impeccable, even when the premise is wrong."

Ian Buruma, New Yorker, 04/21/2008

Review:

"[A] brief and wonderfully argued volume on how the world has a nasty habit of spinning off in its own direction...."

David Sanger, New York Times Book Review, 05/18/2008

Book Description: Knopf Publishing Group, United States, 2008. Hardback. Book Condition: New. 197 x 145 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. Hopes for a new peaceful international order after the end of the Cold War have been dashed by sobering realities: Great powers are once again competing for honor and influence. Nation-states remain as strong as ever, as do the old, explosive forces of ambitious nationalism. The world remains "unipolar," but international competition among the United States, Russia, China, Europe, Japan, India, and Iran raise new threats of regional conflict. Communism is dead, but a new contest between western liberalism and the great eastern autocracies of Russia and China has reinjected ideology into geopolitics. Finally, radical Islamists are waging a violent struggle against the modern secular cultures and powers that, in their view, have dominated, penetrated, and polluted their Islamic world. The grand expectation that after the Cold War the world would enter an era of international geopolitical convergence has proven wrong. For the past few years, the liberal world has been internally divided and distracted by issues both profound and petty. Now, in "The Return of History and the End of"Dreams," Robert Kagan masterfully poses the most important questions facing the liberal democratic countries, challenging them to choose whether they want to shape history or let others shape it for them.
