The Light that Failed: A Reckoning

What an excellent book.
I can't possibly review it from the perspective of political science, in that I'm not sufficiently educated in the field - I am an enthusiastic amateur reader.

I particularly enjoyed the discussions of;

•third states and it complimented my other readings about the jeopardy of binary opposition - the tendency to define what something is not, rather than clearly define what it does stand for - and the intrinsic instability in that position.
• the compatibility of fact, truth and goal based believe
• Russia, China and US, asymmetry and strategy going forward.
• China as a civilisation rather than a state.


All-in-all time well spent.
