Diesen provides a very good summary of international relations theory, contrasting realism and liberalism, which then provides a very insightful framework for understanding geopolitical events over the last 500 years. He then describes events since the late-1980s end of the Cold War, how the West's/USA's dismissal of Russia's security concerns and aggressive expansion of NATO eastwards eventually provoked the recent war in Ukraine, and the consequences this has for the now emerging (already emerged) multipolar world order and the end of previous world order of liberal hegemony dominated by the USA. This book is an excellent introduction to understanding past events and the approaching future.
