People don't necessarily believe my account of the decline of the West, and the rise of the rest, as a self inflicted wound.
They have been sold various conflicting stories of how it has come about, why they should have wanted a LIEO, and how it was inevitable in any event anyway, by both liberals and conservatives, whatever those terms now mean.
This is a reference to a book I am currently reading. It sheds some more light on what I have been describing here, and also tells this different story, a story seldom told, of how the 20th Century came out, how the 21st Century is now, of course, panning out, and why.
The Last Thousand Days of the British Empire, Churchill, Roosevelt, and the Birth of the Pax Americana
