About this ebook
As the 100th anniversary of World War I approaches, historian Margaret MacMillan compares current global tensions rising nationalism, globalizations economic pressures, sectarian strife, and the United States fading role as the worlds pre-eminent superpower to the period preceding the Great War. In illuminating the years before 1914, MacMillan shows the many parallels between then and now, telling an urgent story for our time. THE BROOKINGS ESSAY: In the spirit of its commitment to high-quality, independent research, the Brookings Institution has commissioned works on major topics of public policy by distinguished authors, including Brookings scholars. The Brookings Essay is a multi-platform product aimed to engage readers in open dialogue and debate. The views expressed, however, are solely those of the author. Available in ebook only.
