Book excerpt: We are at a turning point in history when the US won't be the superpower anymore. A multi-polar and a multilateral world is emerging -- China is poised to become an economic superpower, and the center of global power will shift to Asia in the coming years. Russia will be stronger than the USSR ever was. And everyone, especially Americans, need to understand how to face this New World Order 2.0. Geopolitics is more fascinating than any novel or a movie, but unfortunately a vast majority of people stay away from it and the mainstream media reduces it to a Disney version of good versus bad. Geopolitics is a mix of foreign policy, history, geography, culture, economics, wars and more. It involves Machiavellian power struggle as well as cooperative, win-win alliances among nations. Given the importance of geopolitics, one would assume that in a country like America - a superpower with 800 military bases in 144 countries - people will be extremely interested in the subject. We also spend trillions of dollars on perpetual wars and annual military budgets. However, Americans are awfully apathetic and ignorant about geopolitics. This book is aimed at revealing the truths about geopolitics, with special emphasis on US foreign policies, in an easy to understand manner. It will introduce the readers to a new paradigm and will help them understand the world events through a lens that's very different from the mainstream narrative.
