History repeats itself
Found this book for the first time at my local military base a long time ago. Many of the major headlines of the last few years have made me want to re-read this book. Its an interesting book that will change the way you view the world.

Rise and Fall by Paul Kennedy
This piece rises to the challenge given in its title by having the reader sift through a convincingly burdensome amount of detail, yet it fails in broad terms from its de-clawed omission of vital aspects of this period of history.
