"Strobe Talbott looks back to the consolidation of tribes into nations - starting with Israel - and the absorption of those nations into the empires of Hummarabi, the Pharaohs, Alexander, the Caesars, Charlemagne, Genghis Khan, the Ottomans, and the Hapsburgs, through incessant wars of territory and religion, to modern alliances and the global conflagrations of the twentieth century."--BOOK JACKET.
