Review

“[The author's] range of investigation sweeps from New Left politics to the bureaucratization of Soviet communism. Mostly, he examines the ambivalence inherent in America's dual role as disseminator of the technetronic revolution and principal preserver of the international status quo. Brzezinski's optimistic conclusions may comfort a few, but his cavalier treatment of contrary analyses, combined with his past record of undistinguished prognostication, can hardly leave them smug. The opinions are strong and, in general, challenge everyone, from the concerned layman to the practicing scholar.”–Library Journal

5.0 out of 5 stars schematics, September 19, 2001

By	Michael Brosnahan (River Edge, NJ United States) - See all my reviews

For anyone looking for a straight-foward examination of "NWO" political thought, minus the right wing conspiracy propaganda. The author explains why nation states are obsolete in the face of increased economic and social hegemony, pointing to an increasing need for a collective cooperation. The fact the book was written years before the European Union or WTO even existed is testament to Brzezinski's foward thinking genius. One of the best books on foreign relations, period.

2.0 out of 5 stars He foresaw it wrong , March 25, 2007

By	Shalom Freedman "Shalom Freedman" (Jerusalem,Israel) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Between Two Ages: America's Role in the Technetronic Era (Paperback)

I read this book some years ago . The analysis it gave of the impending death of the nation- state as central actor in political affairs has proven extremely premature.
Brzezinski has a great knowledge of world affairs but somehow his perception is skewed. His writing style is also awkward and needlessly complicated.

4.0 out of 5 stars Response to "Schematics" and "Foresaw Wrong" Reviews, September 3, 2009

By	michele - See all my reviews

This review is from: Between Two Ages (Paperback)

In response to both "Schematics" and "Foresaw wrong" reviews: Of course the brilliant author of Between Two Ages did see it correctly, not incorrectly, because he is one of the very Engineers of the NWO, along with his peers at the Council of Foreign Relations and beyond. The very foundations of the NWO are being laid now. Just because it has not happened yet, doesn't mean that it won't. Read Revelation, it tells you the full story about the unfolding of Bzezynski's ideology. It will come to pass, but not one minute before it is supposed to, according to Revelation, which speaks about the 10 "nation" bloques and much more. (And there are exactly 10 waiting in the wings, so to speak.) As you read Revelation there is a surprise ending, which they do not account for, nor do they want it. We live in a most exciting era, which the Ideologists of the Ancient Past would love to have seen!
