Beschreibung

If literature could be governed by law—which, very happily, to the despair of grammarians, it can not—there should be an act prohibiting any one, on pain of death, ever to quote again or adapt to private use Charles Lamb and his two races of men. No one is better aware of the necessity of such a law than the present scribe, as he struggles with the temptation to declare anew that there are two races of men. Where, for instance, do they betray themselves more perfectly than in Stamboul? You like Stamboul or you dislike Stamboul, and there seems to be no half-way ground between the two opinions. I notice, however, that conversion from the latter rank to the former is not impossible. I cannot say that I ever really belonged, myself, to the enemies of Stamboul. Stamboul entered too early into my consciousness and I was too early separated from her to ask myself questions; and it later happened to me to fall under a potent spell. But there came a day when I returned to Stamboul from Italy. I felt a scarcely definable change in the atmosphere as soon as we crossed the Danube.

    Today, a new axis of autocrats is trying to reshape the world order and sideline the United States in international affairs. The New Imperialists delivers eye-opening details of how three major global players—Russia, China, and Iran—are working with each other and with key allies, such as North Korea and Venezuela, to unseat the U.S. as a global leader. The challenge is profound and requires both leadership and action from Washington.   
    Much has been written about the threats to the U.S. posed by Russia, China and Iran. Pirchner and Berman make a unique contribution by connecting the dots among the three, and by offering an invaluable perspective on their long history as imperial powers. They are equally compelling in their recommendations on how the U.S. can counter these threats.  
    -	The Honorable Ryan C. Crocker, former U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Syria, Kuwait, and Lebanon. Board Chair, Middle East Broadcasting Networks 
    Pirchner and Berman are laying out a pivotal historical question: After centuries of citizen-based democracies becoming stronger and building peaceful alliances with each other, are authoritarians with visions of ruling over others making a comeback? The answer is "yes" – but it is not game over. By documenting how the imperialists are gaining ground, they also point the way forward. 
    -	The Honorable Kurt Volker, former U.S. Ambassador to NATO and former U.S. Representative for Ukraine Negotiations 
    In The New Imperialists, Pirchner and Berman expertly diagnose and then proscribe solutions to deal with the preeminent foreign policy challenge of the 21st Century – the rise of totalitarian, expansionist dictatorships working together to threaten our security, prosperity and freedom. . . The New Imperialists is an indispensable call to action.
