Every U.S. citizen should get their copy. So many times we hear things on TV, radio and in print, but we don’t fully understand the consequences and outcomes the war may have on our society as well as others. This wonderfully written/edited book begins to help us understand the war from the point of view of over 30 Nobel Peace Laureates and Eminent Scholars. Irwin Abrams and Wang Gungwu have collected essays from some of the top scholars of our time and compiled them in this 1st of it’s kind book.
Each scholar and Nobel Peace Laureate has given his/her opinion, analysis, or ideas on the war and its consequences. Some of the topics include:
The Post-Cold War and the Unipolar World: Can the U.S. Lead?
American Leadership in a Globalised World: 9/11, Iraq and Beyond
Picking up the Pieces in Gaza
Wars of Terror
Some Legal Aspects of the Military Operation in Iraq
End of a Dictator
And many, many more
Every news professional, government official, educator, business man, white and blue collar worker, student, man, and woman in America should get their copy. Let’s read what others are saying. Gain knowledge from the various opinions and ideas of our scholars and then and only then make our own conclusions.
We highly recommend this book and it is our number one book so far this year.
