War is Interested in You. A long period of peace and stable relations between the world’s most powerful nations is coming to an end. Major wars have broken out in Europe and the Middle East, tensions are rising in East Asia, world leaders have spoken publicly about the possibility of a third world war, and intelligence agencies have never seen the world in a more dangerous and precarious state.
Making use of Rachman’s unique, unparalleled access to leaders in political and intelligence spheres around the globe and full of extremely well-informed and insightful analysis, War is Interested in You explores how we got to this point in global affairs and, crucially, what happens next – in this case, the increasing risk of global conflict.
Gideon Rachman has been the Chief Foreign Affairs columnist for the Financial Times since 2006. In 2016 he won the Orwell Prize for Journalism and was named Commentator of the Year at the European Press Prize awards. Previously he worked for the Economist for fifteen years, and has served as a foreign correspondent in Washington, Bangkok and Brussels. He is the author of Zero-Sum World: Politics, Power and Prosperity After the Crash; Easternisation: War and Peace in the Asian Century; and The Age of the Strongman: How the Cult of the Leader Threatens Democracy Around the World. He is also the host of the podcast The Rachman Review.
