Book Review “If you have trouble making sense of the tumultuous year called 2019, this book by Iveta Cherneva should help. This is a bold narrative that will draw sure reactions, both good and bad, depending on the reader’s allegiance. She cuts to the quick on international relationships, political behavior, and the events that shaped history before the turn of the decade to 2020. She highlights all the turmoil, raw ambition, unkind insults, and political maneuvering around the globe. Cherneva comes at the issues with a clear viewpoint and exposes the agendas and missteps of world leaders without concern. To understand 2020, you probably need to make sense of the last year—this book will help.” Mark Schissler, former Deputy Chairman, NATO Military Committee
