A reasonable price to pay for understanding how the modern world order emerged - with key lessons for the present crisis!

Greatly looking forward to this excellent roundtable on “Atlanticism in a Changing World” - and the entire conference in Copenhagen on 9-10 December! With many thanks to Haakon Ikonomou for making it all happen!

If you are in the heart of Berlin and want to engage with the bigger questions of history - you’ll find a rather decent selection here, Dussmann’s English Bookstore.

Lovely to spot THE NEW ATLANTIC ORDER in the famous window of my favourite bookstore in Berlin - “Shakespeare & Company”.

At long last… one can now also find in the cosmos of the Freie Universität serious books on the big questions of international and global history 😉

It’s good to see THE NEW ATLANTIC ORDER in two of my favourite bookstores in Berlin - the Georg Büchner Buchladen and the Saint George's English Bookshop, both in the heart of Prenzlauer Berg!

Rarely has it been more obvious than now that war and disorder can only be overcome if we think much harder about what durable peace and order really require - politically, psychologically, strategically. Above all, we need to learn again how to learn from history! A suggestion…
