The Best of Times, The Worst of Times: A History of Now by Michael Burleigh
Summary:
Since the end of World War Two, it seemed that the Western version of governance and global leadership would be unchallenged, but Americas abandonment of a consistent foreign policy and the impact of austerity on European confidence has conceded ground to other would-be global players.
Professor Michael Burleigh is a prize-winning journalist and historian whose academic background encompasses Oxford and Stanford universities. He has applied a lifetimes experience, commenting on global affairs, to this new book a forensic examination reviewing modern history and whether the impact of liberal Western democracies has actually been a good thing.
Burleighs new book The Best of Times, the Worst of Times is a masterly assessment of developments and a reflective speculation which, New Chapter examines.
