Due to a passing in the family a few years ago and my subsequent health issues stemming from that, I was unable to download this book in time to review it before it was archived as I did not visit this site for years after the bereavement. Thank you for the opportunity.

An interesting and in-depth examination of political shenanigans from the Cold War to the present day. Lots of research but still very readable and suitable for novices. Worth picking up if you’re interested in how we got to where we are...

I was given a copy of this book by Netgalley in return for an honest review.

Sorry, I just could not finish this book. Despite repeated attempts, it could not hold my attention.

Data and hacks may have replaced bullets and bombs. Social media has been weaponised with targeted fake news and twitter bots.

These are the new tools available to all and sundry to pursue social, racial, ethnic and religious fragmentation.

However, Creating Chaos spends an inordinate amount of time on the Cold War, before finally moving on to modern day statecraft and I struggled to be engaged in the subject matter at hand.

Too much backward looking and too little forward thinking mired what should have been a fascinating examination of a topic that concerns us all.

Perhaps it is time to tell our children to stop obsessively staring at their screens and instead to look up and observe the world around us.
