Krátky popis
A major new book by&,nbsp,New York Times&,nbsp,bestselling
author and geopolitical forecaster George Friedman (The Next 100
Years), with a bold thesis about coming events in
Europe.&,nbsp,This provocative work examines
“flashpoints,”&,nbsp,unique geopolitical hot spots where
tensions have erupted throughout history, and where conflict is due
to emerge again.“There is a temptation, when you are around George
Friedman, to treat him like a Magic 8 Ball.” &,nbsp,—The New
York Times MagazineWith remarkable accuracy, George Friedman has
forecasted coming trends in global politics, technology,
population, and culture.
In&,nbsp,Flashpoints,&,nbsp,Friedman focuses on Europe—the
world’s cultural and power nexus for the past five hundred years .
. . until now. Analyzing the most unstable, unexpected, and
fascinating borderlands of Europe and Russia—and the fault lines
that have existed for centuries and have been ground zero for
multiple catastrophic wars—Friedman highlights, in an
unprecedentedly personal way, the flashpoints that are smoldering
once again.&,nbsp, &,nbsp, &,nbsp,The modern-day
European Union was crafted in large part to minimize built-in
geopolitical tensions that historically have torn it apart. As
Friedman demonstrates, with a mix of rich history and cultural
analysis, that design is
failing.&,nbsp,Flashpoints&,nbsp,narrates a living history
of Europe and explains, with great clarity, its most volatile
regions: the turbulent and ever-shifting land dividing the West
from Russia (a vast area that currently includes Ukraine, Belarus,
and Lithuania), the ancient borderland between France and Germany,
and the Mediterranean, which gave rise to Judaism and Christianity
and became a center of Islamic life.&,nbsp, &,nbsp,
&,nbsp,Through Friedman’s seamless narrative of townspeople and
rivers and villages, a clear picture of regions and countries and
history begins to emerge.&,nbsp,Flashpoints&,nbsp,is an
engrossing analysis of modern-day Europe, its remarkable past, and
the simmering fault lines that have awakened and will be pivotal in
the near future. This is George Friedman’s most timely and,
ultimately, riveting book.
