Synopsis

The author offers a devastating critique of conventional definitions of the ‘new world order’. It is, he argues, no more than an ingenious piece of historical engineering, whereby the pretext for the Cold War – nuclear threat, Eastern Bloc menace – have been deftly replaced by a new set of convenient justifications for a Western agenda that remains largely unchanged.
