War Is Interested in You: The Breakdown of International Order and the Threat of World War Three (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780300289831)

A leading foreign affairs commentator's exploration of the growing number of conflicts around the world--how they developed, and where they might lead

A long period of peace and stable relations between the world's most powerful nations is coming to an end.

Major wars have broken out in Europe and the Middle East, tensions are rising in East Asia, and world leaders have spoken publicly about the possibility of a third world war. Intelligence agencies have never seen the world in a more dangerous and precarious state.

Making use of his extensive access to leaders in political and intelligence spheres around the globe and offering insightful analysis, Gideon Rachman explores how we got to this point and, crucially, what lies ahead--in this case, the increasing risk of global conflict.

As Leon Trotsky once put it, "You may not be interested in war. But war is interested in you."
