Summary: This book has been written in the belief that the most helpful approach to an understanding of current affairs is to try to study them in perspective. It is an attempt to identify and ex plain the main historical forces operating in the contemporary world and to clarify the assumptions behind the conflicting policies of the powers in other words, to stand back a little from the trees in order to see something of the shape of the woods. The main problem has been lack of space. There are a num ber of omissions that may seem strange to some readers. The writer can only plead that the decision about what to include and what to omit was often a difficult one. It was made largely on grounds of what seemed most important to explain; even so the main difficulty has been to keep within manageable length without making the treatment too general to justify the argu ment presented.
