Out of Control Global Turmoil on the Eve of the 21st Century

If America is to reassert its moral legitimacy, Brzezinski argues, it must address its basic dilemmas, including deepening poverty, inadequate health care and education, a greedy wealthy class opposed to progressive taxation, and the mass media's promotion of sex and violence. In the new world of rival global power clusters, Brzezinski urges a greater role for the United Nations and "redistribution of responsibilities" within the trilateral nexus of Europe, America and East Asia (Publisher’s Weekly).

Zbigniew Brzezinski, former director of the National Security Council under President Carter, is author of The Grand Failure, Game Plan, and Power and Principle. He is associated with the Center for Strategic and International Studies, and lives in the Washington, D.C., area.
