Questo è uno di quei rari libri che hanno qualcosa di veramente importante da dire. Anatol Lieven sta dicendo ai suoi colleghi realisti che in questo momento le grandi potenze del mondo sono molto più minacciate dal cambiamento climatico che l'una dall'altra. Ivan Krastev, autore di The Light That Failed Negli ultimi due secoli abbiamo sperimentato ondate su ondate di cambiamenti travolgenti. Interi continenti sono stati reinsediati; siamo miliardi in più; i lavori svolti da innumerevoli persone sarebbero irriconoscibili per i loro predecessori; il cambiamento scientifico ci ha trasformati tutti in modi confusi, terribili e miracolosi. Il nuovo importante libro di Anatol Lieven fornisce la cornice che è stata a lungo necessaria per capire come dovremmo reagire al cambiamento climatico. Questa è una sfida enorme, ma in passato abbiamo spesso dovuto affrontare sfide di questo tipo: la rivoluzione industriale, le grandi guerre e le migrazioni di massa hanno visto mobilitazioni di energia umana su vasta scala. Proprio come le generazioni precedenti hanno dovuto affrontare ciò che era indesiderato e sgradevole, lo facciamo anche noi. In una serie di interventi incisivi e convincenti, Lieven mostra come in questa emergenza il nostro elemento fondamentale sia lo stato nazionale. L'azione drastica richiesta sia per cambiare le nostre abitudini che per proteggerci può essere attuata non attraverso un vago globalismo, ma attraverso il mantenimento della coesione sociale e attraverso le nostre attuali strutture governative, fiscali e militari. Questo è un libro che susciterà innumerevoli discussioni.
