War Is Interested In You

Brilliant … Rachman’s deep historical knowledge, flair for analysis and keen eye for detail, as well as his encounters with key players at critical moments, create an absorbing narrative that could not be more important or timely

If there is one person you absolutely need to read on where the world is going, it is Gideon Rachman. War is Interested in You is an urgent, beautifully written and rather terrifying book which makes clear that war is ever with us, ineradicable, and about to turn nastier than ever. I could not recommend it more strongly
