How did we come to the brink of a nuclear catastrophe? Who has jeopardized the foundations of the peaceful life bought with the lives of millions of victims of the Second World War and the first Cold War? Return to the recent past to understand why war is raging today - "The Lost World" will take you there! Immerse yourself in the intricacies of diplomacy and geopolitics of the last 80 years with this insightful essay. Written by Mikhail Gorbachev's assistant and former press secretary, Andrei Grachev, who participated in high-level negotiations that ended the first Cold War, this book offers a unique perspective on the roots of today's conflicts. Gain an unprecedented insight into why the sirens of a new world war are sounding and how we can use this knowledge to shape a safer future and avoid repeating the mistakes of the past.
In the book:
- a brief history of the first Cold War, which claimed the lives of about 50 million people in dozens of conflicts in the second half of the 20th century,
- reflections on why it was a mistake to hope for an era of durable and eternal peace in the 21st century,
- an analysis of the reasons why over the past 30 years the world has steadily slid towards a new global war.
"Thorough analytical works on global geopolitics are rare. Here is one of them. From the perspective of an analyst - after being a participant in historical events... - Andrei Grachev can certainly judge the state of international relations today in light of what was yesterday and forecast what will happen tomorrow." - Dominique Vidal (monde-diplomatique.fr)
