Summary, etc. The Game of Nations reveals a whole new strategy of international power politics - an amoral and cynical game in which there are neither winners nor losers but only survivors. Bluff and nerve are the principal requirements, while the public utterances of politicians and statesmen bear no relation to their private manoeuvres.<br/><br/>Leaders of weak and underdeveloped nations have been able to gain an influence on the international scene out of all proportion to their country's strength because of the way the Great Powers have flattered and courted them. Men like Nasser play one Power off against the other in this highly sophisticated game to the extent that these Powers have had to alter and reshape their own international policies and participate in the same game themselves.<br/><br/>Taking Nasser as a case-study, an example of a politician who has succeeded in using is own version of the games technique, Miles Copeland shows how international relations work from the inside, particularly in the tense arena of the Middle East.<br/><br/>Miles Copeland is the senior partner firm specialising in government relations.
