Reviews
Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc.
The predictable world of the 1980s has fallen to the wave of change and uncertainty of the 1990s, and all this roiling and boiling in the international arena has generated a spate of books on the topic. Wright and McManus spent two years circling the globe interviewing dozens of people in high places and low. Ranging from politics, to battlefields, to the effect of AIDS (our new version of the Black Death) on future generations, the authors have provided a well written and tightly presented summary of our present condition as a global family, and what our future may hold. The authors point to the spread of democracy (in whatever guise) as representing a special challenge for the First and Second worlds, as the Third World seeks its place in the sun. This book and Jeffrey Bergner's New World Order ( LJ 9/1/91) provide solid analyses of this important subject. Recommended.

Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.…
