Empire of Democracy : The Remaking of the West since the Cold War, 1971-2017

870p. In blue cloth-covered boards with gilt titles on spine (boards are strong, clean and square). Internally neat, clean, bright and tight. In its original dust jacket (very slightly bumped on edges). Chronicles and analyses how, although Western democracies won the Cold War that replaced the post-war Golden Age, the war on terror and the fear instilled by the economic crisis of 2007-08 shines different light upon the decisions taken to secure capitalist democracy in the 1970s, laying the basis for the anti-liberalism surge of recent times. A magnificent, panoramic history of the late 20th century and early 21st century.
