In The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers, historian Paul Kennedy explores how economic strength and military power have shifted among world powers over the past five centuries.
From the rise of Spain and the Ottoman Empire, to the industrial dominance of Britain, and the superpower contest between the USA and the USSR, Kennedy examines how nations rise through wealth and innovation, and fall through overreach and conflict.
This sweeping global history is essential for anyone in Kenya who is interested in geopolitics, economics, history, and international relations.
It’s also widely studied in university political science and history programs, offering profound insight into the links between finance, strategy, and state power.
