From a renowned Yale historian comes a chilling look at the looming threat of the next Great Power War and the urgent interventions necessary to avoid it in the twenty-first century. The vast majority of people alive today have come of age in a world of remarkable stability, presided over by either one or two Superpowers.

The outbreak of global war among today's Great Powers seems increasingly likely. Such war, as Odd Arne Westad powerfully argues in this urgent book, would be of a magnitude and devastation unseen before. To understand the threats that face us in this complex new terrain, we must look to the lessons of the late 19th and early 20t
