The Return of History and the End of Dreams
Robert Kagan
This book discusses the realities of international competition post-Cold War, as great powers vie for honor and influence. The world remains "unipolar," but threats of regional conflict loom with the rise of powers like China and Russia. The author challenges liberal democratic countries to choose whether they want to shape history or let others shape it for them.

@MaesterRAM @seanwilentz @BillKristol @KristolConvos Return of History is an interesting little book. Much more information than you’d expect of such a small volume, which also could be said for Irony of American History. I’d add Howard Thurman’s Jesus and the Disinherited to that list too. – source
