Against the World by Tara Zahra
A brilliant, eye-opening work of history that speaks volumes about todays battles over international trade, immigration, public health and global inequality
"MsZahra’s narrative shows us how closely—even eerily—our present-day world resembles the state of the globe roughly a century ago.... The most engaging sections of Ms. Zahra’s vigorous and informative book are those in which she offers us biographical portraits of some of the players in the great game of globalisation." -- Tunku Varadarajan - The Wall Street Journal
"[Zahra] has written a panoramic work illustrating how societies across the world reacted in the interwar ear against the perceived threats of a globalised economy." -- Tony Barber - Financial Times
"[A] superb history of the interwar period… Zahra has produced one of the best and most timely works of global history of the past few years." -- Gavin Jacobson - The New Statesman
"A panoramic history of anti-globalisation… Zahra deftly weaves cutting-edge scholarship and human stories into concerns about democracy, markets and nation-states." -- Financial Times
"Every story in this book is relevant and absorbing; Zahra plaits her narrative strands together with such deliberation and skill that nothing is out of place." -- Jennifer Szalai - The New York Times
