A deeply researched international history and "exemplary study" (New York Times Book Review) of how a divided world ended and our present world was fashioned, as the world drifts toward another great time of choosing.
Two of America's leading scholar-diplomats, Philip Zelikow and Condoleezza Rice, have combed sources in several languages, interviewed leading figures, and drawn on their own firsthand experience to bring to life the choices that molded the contemporary world. Zeroing in on the key moments of decision, the might-have-beens, and the human beings working through them, they explore both what happened and what could have happened, to show how one world ended and another took form. Beginning in the late 1970s and carrying into the present, they focus on the momentous period between 1988 and 1992, when an entire world system changed, states broke apart, and societies were transformed. Such periods have always been accompanied by terrible wars - but not this time.
This is also a story of individuals coping with uncertainty. They voice their hopes and fears. They try out desperate improvisations and careful designs. These were leaders who grew up in a "postwar" world, who tried to fashion something better, more peaceful, more prosperous, than the damaged, divided world in which they had come of age. New problems are putting their choices, and the world they made, back on the operating table. It is time to recall not only why they made their choices, but also just how great nations can step up to great challenges.
Timed for the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, To Build a Better World is an authoritative depiction of contemporary statecraft. It lets listeners in on the strategies and negotiations, nerve-racking risks, last-minute decisions, and deep deliberations behind the dramas that changed the face of Europe - and the world - forever.

Title: Changing the World requires changing how we select our leaders.
Review: What I liked most was that it started with the section on the Two Prophets which explains many leadership styles of today, their challenges and their fallacies. That section alone sets the foundation for the next chapters and better understanding of why and how most world and business Leaders have behaved the way they have and also a better future needs more Orwell and less John Burnham.

Review: There are shelves of books detailing the history of the Cold War â Rice and Zelikowâs book differs from most others by looking at the statecraft between the powers involved that led to the conclusion of the Cold War. The book is well structured and well written, immersing the reader in the behind-the-scenes diplomacy that took place.The two authorsâ experience in H.W Bushâs administration gives the book a unique feel, in comparison to many other historical accounts of the late Cold War where the reader tends to feel like they are an external spectator, rather than in the room.Worth a read for anyone interested in 20th century history, and for students of International Relations or History.
