Summary:  "Author and geopolitical forecaster George Friedman (The Next 100 Years, The Next Decade) presents a bold thesis about coming conflict in the world. The geopolitical flashpoints--particularly in Europe--in which imminent future conflicts are brewing. Friedman zooms in on the region that has, for five hundred years, been the cultural hotbed of the world--Europe--and examines the most basic and fascinating building block of the region: culture. Analyzing the fault lines that have existed for centuries--and which have led to two world wars and dozens more conflicts--Friedman walks us through the 'flashpoints' that are still smoldering. A fascinating history of the events leading up to the horrific wars that nearly tore apart Western civilization--killing over 100 million people on the 'civilized' European continent. The formation of the European Union was designed to minimize the built-in geopolitical tensions, but as Friedman shows with a mix of history and cultural analysis, those plans have failed. 'Flashpoints' are now simmering as dangerously as in the early twentieth century. Zeroing in on half a dozen locations, borderlands, and cultural dynamics, George Friedman explains precisely how certain trends are unstoppable, and what the future holds, both in terms of conflict and also opportunity. Flashpoints also explains how events in Europe will affect the rest of the world. He reveals a geopolitical landscape that is at once a scintillating history lesson and a forecast for the coming years"--Provided by publisher.
