The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 dawned what Francis Fukuyama called “The End of History”. Three decades later, Jim Sciutto said on CNN’s air that we are living in a “1939 moment.” History is back and the global order as we know it is at stake. Great powers are reinvigorated and determined to assert dominance on the world stage. And as it escalates, it will affect everyone on the globe. Peace has been shattered by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, but in reality, this affects every corner of our world - from Helsinki to Beijing, from Australia to the North Pole. This is a battle with many fronts: on the Arctic floor, in the air (balloons), and in cyber space.
Sciutto argues that we are witnessing the return of great power conflict, “a definitive break between the post-Cold War era and an entirely new and uncertain one.” The world order that marked the last 30 years is shifting, and Jim is here to detail the realities of this new post-post-Cold War era, the increasingly aligned Russian and Chinese governments, and the flashpoint of a new, global nuclear arms race. With savvy, thorough reporting, Jim follows-up his 2019 bestseller The Shadow War: Inside Russia's and China's Secret Operations to Defeat America, which focused on the covert tactics of a hidden conflict. THE RETURN OF GREAT POWERS is an analysis of a historic and visible shift in real time. Jim asks us to consider uncertain outcomes, and whether the West, Russia and China can prevent a new World War.
