The Revenge of History by Seumas Milne

The Revenge of History by Seumas Milne

From 9/11 to the Arab Spring and beyond - encompassing the economic crisis, the rise of China, and conflicts in the Middle East - The Revenge of History turns the orthodoxies of the past generation on their head. In this coruscating account of the first decade of the twenty-first century, Seumas Milne presents a powerful indictment of the United States, a global and corporate empire in decline. Milne also examines the causes of the credit crisis and the Great Recession, reveals the policy of humanitarian military intervention to be a failed land grab, explains the dynamo behind the roaring Chinese economy and discovers new models of society flourishing in Latin America. Brilliant, bold and always incisive, The Revenge of History is essential reading for anyone wanting to understand what has gone wrong.

Reading Seumas Milne, one often has a feeling of physical relief: finally someone not only sees the truth but articulates it with thrilling erudition and moral clarityTracking a decade of ruinous lies from the right and unheeded warnings from the left, this is a book with an urgent message: it's time to win more than arguments. -- Naomi Klein, author of Shock Doctrine
A tour de force of analysis, clarity, and writing ... one of the few beacons of sanity over the past decade. * Huffington Post *
