'Crucial reading on why our global order has come apart at the seams' - WILLIAM HAGUE

'Thoughtful, thought-provoking and clear-eyed' - PETER FRANKOPAN

'An expert voice for troubled times' - JOHN KERRY

Every day, a new headline. War in the Middle East between Trump's America and Iran. Israel and Palestine in a never-ending conflict. Putin's Russia and Ukraine in a battle that threatens the autonomy of Europe. China on a mission to extend its global reach. The world is closer than it ever has been to midnight on the Doomsday Clock.

Tobias Ellwood is an expert in geopolitics and military strategy. As former Foreign Minister, Defence Minister, Chair of the House of Commons Defence Committee and an officer in the British Army's Royal Green Jackets, he is uniquely placed to offer solutions to the crises affecting our global order. In ten steps, he shows us exactly what is at stake, how we got here, and how we can build an exit plan to prevent regional conflict escalating into global war.

'Engaging and insightful, this book ... offers practical steps that world leaders and everyday citizens alike can take to navigate them with purpose' - GENERAL JIM MATTIS, USMC RTD
