Powerful nations are determined to assert dominance on the world stage. And as their push for power escalates, a new order will affect everyone across the globe. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is a part of it, but in reality, this power struggle impacts every corner of our world—from Helsinki to Beijing, from Australia to the North Pole. This is a battle with many fronts: in the Arctic, in the oceans and across the skies, on man-made islands and redrawn maps, and in tech and cyberspace.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough globe-spanning, exclusive interviews with dozens of political, military, and intelligence leaders, Sciutto defines our times as a return of great power conflict, “a definitive break between the post–Cold War era and an entirely new and uncertain one.” With savvy, thorough, in-person reporting, he follows-up his 2019 bestseller, \u003ci\u003eThe Shadow War: Inside Russia’s and China's Secret Operations to Defeat America\u003c\/i\u003e, which focused on the covert tactics of a hidden conflict. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Return of Great Powers\u003c\/i\u003e analyzes a historic and visible shift in real time. It details the realities of this new post–post–Cold War era, the increasingly aligned Russian and Chinese governments, and the flashpoint of a new, global nuclear arms race. And it poses a question: As we consider uncertain, even terrifying, outcomes, will it be possible for the West and Russia and China to prevent a new World War?","brand":"Sciutto, Jim","offers":[{"title":"Hardback (History)","offer_id":47634667765984,"sku":null,"price":19.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0330\/3125\/8248\/files\/BNCImageAPI_a775f298-ab8b-4a67-a64b-8d87e30ef67d.jpg?v=1754489594","url":"https:\/\/agricola-street-books.myshopify.com\/products\/9780593474136","provider":"Agricola Street Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
