"[A] powerful, necessary, and timely book." --The Irish Times "The strength of Achcar's The New Cold War lies in its incisive clarity in objectively narrating how this new era of inter-imperial tensions developed, without losing sight of the legitimacy of self-determination struggles against all imperialist countries in the New Cold War. Such a balanced clarity is needed as a principled position of supporting self-determination struggles in a new era of inter imperialist rivalry has come increasingly under fire by propagandists of the U.S., Chinese, and Russian regimes." --Promise Li, New Politics "Learned and incisive, ranging easily from broad geopolitical analysis to the details of policy formation, this masterful study of the new cold war of the past thirty years--by the scholar who first identified and studied it-- is an indispensable guide to the current global disorder and its ominous portent." --Noam Chomsky "Gilbert Achcar has long been warning of a new Cold War, and this volume is perfectly timed to anatomize the newest stage of the conflict. No one who hopes to move beyond complacent rhetoric and slogans can afford to miss this essential book.

" --Samuel Moyn, Yale University Praise for The Clash of Barbarisms: The Making of the New World Disorder: "The most forceful, most rigorous text that there is to read on this war." Le Monde Diplomatique.
