I didn't realise that the Europeans loved warring so much and that it held them back from economic development so badly. Great book. Really. I found it difficult to put down. Not that I'd recommend it to too many people. Pity about his predictions. I was rather looking forward to what India had in store for the world but it was printed in 1987. He did mention the rise of China but felt that Japan wouldn't falter. Those Russians never did themselves much of a favour.

They are still the same way. Look at the Georgia mess. Annie
You read that by free will?! You´re truly not European ;-)
Yips, it´s sad how nations hold themselves back from being successful and happy....
The US of A is well and truly overextended. Georgia is a fine example of that.
The book was enlightening and really a great read. Ich bin Berliner, nicht.
