The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and its Geostrategic Imperatives. by Brzezinski, Zbigniew - 1997

New York: Basic Books, 1997. First edition of this "masterful synthesis of historical, geographical, and political analysis.... Geostrategic thinking in the grand tradition of Bismarck" (Samuel Huntington). Octavo, original half cloth. Signed by the author on the front free endpaper, "and with best wishes Zbigniew Brzezinski." Small name, fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Rick Pracher. Brzezinski has now stated and restated his concerns. His books are there for any political leader to use as material for future policy declarations. But it is difficult in the current situation to imagine much of a competition to take up Brzesinski's ideas, however well they are argued here" (The New York Times Book Review, Bernard Gwertzman).
