ABOUT THIS BOOK

‘If imperialists unleash a (nuclear) war on us, we may lose more than three hundred million people. So what? War is war…’ —Mao
Is the nuclear ‘war’ that Mao spoke of, finally upon us? There are other questions as well: When did the second nuclear age start? Why must the Doomsday Clock have regional settings? Will there be many small wars before the big one? Where and when will it start? Will nuclear weapons be used in that major war?
In Wartime, bestselling author Rajiv Dogra incisively examines these and other key issues transforming the global order. A master storyteller and foreign policy expert, Dogra takes the reader on a riveting and timely journey across the world’s future battlefields, and makes a powerful geopolitical case about the major powers and their strategic choices.
