Book description
Since the turn of the century, we have seen hopes of a new era of
peace shattered by the 9/11 attack on the US. We have witnessed the US
become embroiled in a divisive and seemingly unwinnable war in Iraq..
We have looked on as new nuclear rivalries have sprung up with Iran
and North Korea. We have also seen Europe struggle to define its place
in the New World Order. And we have observed the balance of world
focus shift towards China and India as they have continued their
unprecedented economic rise.
What is the significance of all of this? Are these random events or
is there an underlying pattern? What is required of leaders and
individuals to propel the world in a more positive direction? The
Master Strategist provides the means to decipher these
changes, offering unique insights into the issues and patterns that
are defining the future, and pointing the way to strategies for a
freer and more peaceful and prosperous world.
