About this audiobook
In 1991, the United States was the only global superpower. It seemed that the 21st century, like the 20th, would belong to America. Then came the stock market bubble, the costly foreign unilateralism of the younger Bush presidency, and the financial catastrophe of 2008. Meanwhile, China was rising and the Middle East was awakening politically. Today it is clear that America is vulnerable-to domestic and international decline and unregulated greed. #160;#160;Speaking from decades of experience, Brzezinski considers the implications of the changing distribution of global power, ponders why America#8217;s global appeal is waning, speculates on the likely geopolitical consequences if America declines by 2025 (will China assume America#8217;s central role in world affairs?), and describes a vision of a resurgent America: responsive to challenges, strategically deliberate, and historically enlightened in its global engagement with the new East.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent scholarly assessment of the global geo-political stage. Updated edition eagerly anticipated.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great book for all interested in global geopolitical landscape. 5 stars...
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A brief and cogent analysis of the United States' relative global decline in influence, the possible consequences of continued decline, and what is to be done to prevent this.
Also offers an incisive and comprehensive overview of American domestic failings, and offers an 'assets and liabilities' table comparing its' weaknesses and strengths.
A remarkable book, which crams volumes of piercing strategic analysis into barely 200 pages.
