Summary, etc. The beginning of the Gorbachev era does not repre. sent the end of the rivalry between the two super powers. Rather, it represents the beginning of a dangerous, challenging new stage of the struggle."<br/><br/>1999 is the clear demonstration of why former Presi dent Richard Nixon has become the foremost com mentator on international affairs. The range of his analysis illuminated by his personal knowledge of many of the world's leaders is extraordinary, whether he is writing about Gorbachev's strategy and tactics for achieving victory over the West, how West ern Europe can reach superpower status, the pivotal significance of events in the Third World or the con trasting directions of New Zealand and Australia.<br/><br/>1999 is about prescriptions not predictions. He takes today's realities and, with devastating clarity, details how the West can be best positioned to take on the challenges of the 21st Century.<br/><br/>His central concern is that we do not misread the signals from Gorbachev's Soviet Union. Behind the beguiling personal PR and comforting words of peace and arms limitation, the old objectives of the Soviets are still in place increased territorial control, with Central America and the Persian Gulf, "the jugular of the West", as prime targets; and their determination to stay dominant in nuclear capability. The former President details how, in such circumstances, the West should compete and negotiate with Moscow.
