Description
The Deluge: A New Story of Global Mastery On the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War, Adam Tooze presents a powerful explanation of why the war's legacy continues to shape our world. In this panoramic new book, Tooze tells a radical story of the struggle for global mastery from 1916 to the Great Depression of the 1930s. The war had a profound impact on societies around the world, leading to the collapse of empires and the rise of new nations. Strikes, street-fighting, and revolution convulsed much of the world as the foundations of political and economic order were shaken. At the heart of this transformation was the growing power of the United States, which became a uniquely powerful global force, both a source of hope and a force to be reckoned with. Tooze shows how the fate of civilization - from the British Empire to the survival of the Weimar Republic, and stability in the Pacific - came to revolve around this new power's fraught relationship with a shockingly changed world.
