Description
'A compelling manifesto for the enlargement of freedom and a new era of world politics' Vรกclav Havel
At the start of the new century America and Europe have reached a standoff and Britain is torn between the two. Can we choose between them? Should we? Or is the West just squabbling while the rest of the world burns?
Renowned political writer Timothy Garton Ash has travelled the globe and talked to everyone from George W. Bush, Tony Blair and Gerhard Schrรถder to farmers in Kansas and soldiers in Aldershot. He dismantles the myth that America and Europe can never meet. This radical and visionary book shows why our current predicament actually reveals an opportunity for citizens everywhere to work together, end the divide between the West and the Rest and create a truly free world.
