[Ryan Kirkish · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good introduction to Organski's power transition theory. Including real world examples and an informed refutation of the mutually assured destruction policy governing nuclear arms buildup.

A good framework for predicting the future of China, India, Russia and the United States and the BRICS in general.
