In The Long Game, Rush Doshi demonstrates that China is in fact playing a long, methodical game todisplace America from regional and global order. Drawing from a rich base of Chinese primary sources, including decades worth of party documents and memoirs by party leaders, he traces the history of China’s grand strategy from the end of the Cold War to the present day and puts forward an asymmetric strategy for the United States to deal with it – one that ironically borrows from Beijing’s own playbook.

Britain shaped the modern Middle East through the lines that it drew in the sand after the First World War and through the League of Nation mandates over the fledgling states which followed. Since the Second World War, oil interests, Arab nationalism, the Arab-Israeli conflict, militant Islam and the Anglo-American special relationship have all drawn Britain back into the Middle East. Nigel Ashton explores the reasons why British leaders have been unable to resist returning to the mire of the Middle East, while highlighting the misconceptions about the region which have helped shape their interventions, and the legacy of history which has fuelled their pride and arrogance. It shows that their fears and insecurities have made them into false prophets who have conjured existential threats out of the Middle East.

Kissinger’s six leaders are Konrad Adenauer, Charles de Gaulle, Richard Nixon, Anwar Sadat, Lee Kuan Yew, and Margaret Thatcher. All of them were formed in a period when established institutions collapsed all over Europe, colonial structures gave way to independent states in Asia and Africa, and a new international order had to be created from the vestiges of the old. Kissinger penetratingly analyses each of these leaders’ careers through the highly individual strategies of statecraft which he presents them as embodying, to show how it is the combination of character and circumstance which creates history. Kissinger’s public experience, personal knowledge and historical perceptions enrich the book with insights and judgements such as only he could make.
