The Geostrategic Triad : Living with China, Europe, and Russia (Csis Significant Issues Series) [Paperback]

Zbigniew Brzezinski (Author)

Book Description

Series: Csis Significant Issues Series | Publication Date: December 18, 2000

Global stability in the early twenty-first century will be conditioned largely by how the United States handles its relations with China, Europe, and Russia--the "geostrategic triad". Thus, the United States needs a well-defined strategy to manage the two "Eurasian power triangles": the United States, Japan, and China, and the United States, Europe, and Russia. With this work, Brzezinski offers a comprehensive geostrategic road map for such U.S. engagement.

5.0 out of 5 stars A superb summary by a skilled strategist, October 15, 2006

This review is from: The Geostrategic Triad : Living with China, Europe, and Russia (Csis Significant Issues Series) (Paperback)

Brzezinski has a knack for distilling strategic questions down into their essence, and this little book will tell you more about the 21st century geopolitical future than numerous thicker volumes by lesser minds. Instead of naive extrapolations, Brzezinski offers genuine insights based on half a century of study, thought and high-level experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars BRZEZINSKI KNOWS HIS STUFF. WHEN DR. BRZEZINSKI TALKS PEOPLE LISTEN AND RESPECT HIM. A 100% CREDIBLE PERSON., October 12, 2010

This review is from: The Geostrategic Triad : Living with China, Europe, and Russia (Csis Significant Issues Series) (Paperback)

Dr. Brzezinski waastes no words, and his thoughts tell an inconvenient truth for some. His writings are truthful and very, very necessary readings for future world peace. We many more credible, truthtelling and respected leaders like Dr. Brzezinski.

Please ignore dishonest and bitter reviewers who have not read the book, and worse, do not put America's security and well-being first.

Dr. Brzezinski please continue to write sir.

This review is from: The Geostrategic Triad : Living with China, Europe, and Russia (Csis Significant Issues Series) (Paperback)

This isn't really a book. It is a magazine article with expanded type to make is seem like a book. I can't imagine a worse author of how to deal with the international scene than the guy who thought it was a good idea to fund interational terrorists in the hopes of drawing the Soviet Union into Afghanisatn and creating a Soviet "Vietnam". While he may now claim credit for being able to walk the streets of his native Poland because the Soviet Union collapsed, he really has no idea of what he is talking about. Just like the New York Times gets to pick people to write on its Op-ed page, regardless of whether they know what they are talking about, Carter picked this blowhard to head up national security for the USA, and we will pay the price in thousand of American lives for generations to come. This "book" is an insult to anyone who knows two cents worth of current international affairs.
