'Gideon Rachman is one of the wisest observers of our strange times. Listen to him' ANNE APPLEBAUM

Wars have broken out in Europe and the Middle East, tensions are rising in East Asia, world leaders speak about the possibility of a third world war, and intelligence agencies have never seen the world in a more precarious state.

After the end of the Cold War, the US dominated the global economy and the international political system. But a relative weakening in Western power has opened the door for countries that want to challenge the global power structure. Russia, China, Iran and North Korea are all seeking to overturn the current order. And with Donald Trump in the White House, international politics is becoming ever more unpredictable and volatile.

As the Financial Times 's chief foreign affairs commentator, Gideon Rachman has had a ringside seat as these events have developed. Making use of his unparalleled access to leaders in political and intelligence spheres around the globe, and full of sharp and insightful analysis, War is Interested in You explores how we got to this point in global affairs - and, crucially, what happens next.

As Leon Trotsky once put it, 'You may not be interested in war. But war is interested in you.'

'War is Interested in You is both a geopolitical masterclass and a warning ... Extraordinary' EDWARD FISHMAN
