The Shield Of Achilles by Philip Bobbitt, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

For five centuries, the State has evolved according to epoch-making cycles of war and peace. But now our world has changed irrevocably. What faces us in this era of fear and uncertainty? How do we protect ourselves against war machines that can penetrate the defenses of any state? Visionary and prophetic, The Shield of Achilles looks back at history, at the “Long War" of 1914-1990, and at the future: the death of the nation-state and the birth of a new kind of conflict without precedent. | The Shield Of Achilles by Philip Bobbitt, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
