review 1: Brzezinski capably summarizes where the United States stands in the world as 2012, including strengths and weaknesses, and then outlines potential problems for the next 15 years. He is brief and blunt. This is a fascinating book by a political scientist, and whether you agree with him or not, there is plenty to talk about.Why I started it: Another audio book from my stash, this book needs to be read now while it is still current.Why I finished it: This was like taking a mini-college course, a short and well thought out glimpse into the international future. Brzezinski's main argument that America needs to develop a coherent and long term plan for our foreign policy is absolutely true.
review 2: Great insight. Zibig provides a good, solid brief history of glo... morebal politics and international affairs. He then jumps quickly to analyzing the status of the US in the context of current affairs, including a good section on the influence of social media. He also uses a number of charts and graphs that are easily understood, and concludes with a good assessment of where the US is today in the new environment which is post Cold War, post bi-polar. He acknowledges the waning power of the West in the global community and the rising challenge of the East, especially China. He is clear that the US must forge a new strategy in the face of this dramatically changing environment in order to hold its own. less
