It has simply become a classic: just as true and relevant now as when it was written, more than 20 years ago. In fact it says things which are true but which no mainline publisher would touch today. Its only possible sequel would be "Destined for War," by Graham Allison, q v).

Of course, it is not up to date, but extremely introspective, kind of depressing. The reader will find an enormous array of sobering thoughts that he/she won't be permitted to even raise in a university history class. Magnificent intellectual exercise, food for thought for the discerning reader. J.

Lauded by Henry Kissinger as “one of the most important books to have emerged since the end of the Cold War” a renowned political scientist’s Earth-shaking paradigm establishes an alternate realist framework in which transnational ‘civilizations’ identified by common culture replace nations unified by political, economic and ideological interests as prime movers shaping new global order through cooperation and conflict.

I read this book when it first came out 1996. And since then the political stage has been extremely active, changing, expanding and progressing in ways that are sometimes not understood unless you have had a road map. I remembered over and over as events unfolded these past years many of the things that Samuel P. Huntington said in this book seemed to be that road map actually coming to frustration before my eyes. As the events of our time are unfolding at even a greater pace than any of us can imagine, I wanted to refresh my recollection of Huntington's provocative speculations of the World Order as it applies to today - some 13 years later. Because of his memorable insights into international events, I found myself wanting to re-read this book and so I bought my second copy. You will find this book every bit amazing as I do, you will find and understand the effects of Civilizations upon the World stage and why it is so important for all us to be aware of the political landscapes that are shaping our destiny. Its a bold statement about the future of the World and mankind of which you will understand as you can clearly see the events from your front role seat. Get this book you will learn more than you can imagine, and you will remember what you read long after you have read it.Read full review
