Insightful, frighteningly timely, and highly accessible. . .
[Welsh] skillfully answers realpolitik questions with a seamless,
finely honed argument deserving of broad readership and study.
*Publisher's Weekly*
Welsh’s unusual perspective serves her well and distinguishes this
book from other return-of-history jeremiads. Not only is she
exceptionally fluent in the debates and histories of political
science, but she has a unique understanding of the actual workings
and breaking points of the formal international order and its
failings.
*Globe and Mail*
Welsh offers an engaging and thought-provoking argument.
*National Post*
Welsh mounts a forceful moral argument.
*Maclean's*
Outright inspirational . . . Whether you are interested in history,
political science, economics, or are simply concerned about the
state of the world, this book will force you to think long and
hard.
*Quill and Quire*
