book, Henrik Dahl–an acclaimed Danish author and Member of the European Parliament–takes aim at the West’s elites. He identifies four decisive failures: in our dealings with Russia, which we underestimated and misunderstood after the collapse of the Soviet Union; in the naïve belief that economic integration alone would deliver democracy in China; in the Middle East, where Western idealism has collided with the hard realities of political Islam; and in our failure to grasp energy as a geopolitical weapon, particularly in Europe.
