All the Troubles - Softcover
Taking a look behind 9/11 and other complicated and contentious world events, the 26 concise essays in this compilation eloquently set out the essential history that makes sense of these recent war zones. They purport that violence be it war or terror is not random, is not the result of tribal lunacy, is not best explained in terms of good versus evil, but is rooted in history. As the one remaining world superpower, the United States inevitably occupies a central role in this analysis, but the part played by Australia and the relevance of all the world’s troubles to Australia’s interests are also the subject of scrutiny. The up-to-date and razor-sharp analysis makes the underlying links in this new world order stand out in stark relief. From Afghanistan to Zimbabwe and from AIDS to the United Nations, this collection provides a compelling and readable guide to the reality behind the headlines.
