## retained text



```
War is Interested in You by Gideon Rachman.
The Financial Times’ chief foreign affairs commentator explores a geopolitical twilight in which the three nations with the largest nuclear arsenals are led by strongmen, allowing autocrats to exploit new gaps in the global political order.
Despite the bleak nature of his subject matter, Rachman’s “writing is engaging and anecdotal, and he brings vast experience to bear on a vital subject,” The Guardian wrote. “He won’t go so far as to say a new world war is inevitable, but the threat is becoming impossible to ignore.” Buy War is Interested in You from your local bookstore.
