Great analysis and book. *by J***S on Reviewed in France on 4 January 2022* Looks at Britain’s role in the world from the post war to the future. Makes a great point on modern democracies more focused on short term crisis management then long term strategic planning. Throughout showing how Britain used to be a great strategist but has since greatly regressed.Highly recommend. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The future of the international order and the UK's place within it *by C***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 July 2021* Peter Ricketts addresses the question of the strategic choices facing the UK through the three lenses of past, present and future. His focus is on international relations and their supporting institutions. His incisive review of the UK’s role in the development of the United Nations and NATO after the Second World War is fascinating: first as impressive structures are built on fine political judgements, then leading on to more recent challenges such as the Security Council’s role in the build up to the Iraq War. The arrival on the scene of the EU’s putative proposals for some kind of European army adds to the mix.So far so good, but the book’s central focus on where we are now turns up the heat, with every question on what needs to be done an implicit (and highly readable) criticism of a UK and international order which is failing to do it. Ricketts is arguing for the development of a serious and over-arching grand strategy, with planning based on a clear sense of long-term purpose and direction, beneath which other more specific objectives can be developed and pursued. His analysis of the structural challenges facing the West – specifically the UN, NATO, the EU and the UK government within all that – is based on an enormous wealth of professional experience. My only disappointment was the very limited amount of space devoted to the role of “soft power” within this heady brew.For the future, the challenges are exciting and frightening in equal measure. Tensions with the new economic and military power of China and its expanding role in the world; Russia, the Middle East, and Africa; and tensions in international trade, not least between the UK and the EU, and the UK’s proposed tilt towards the Indo-Pacific region: all of these need addressing. Peter Ricketts’ preceding analysis of the successes and failures of the international order help him make a convincing case for the essential requirement for the UK to develop an overarching grand strategy to set the course for the future - with some hard choices to be made.A highly readable and informative analysis by a writer with a depth of professional experience in diplomacy and national security. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Interesting to be reminded of the last70 years *by B***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 June 2022* The clear obvious evidence of the authors knowledge and experience --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/434052204-hard-choices-the-making-and-unmaking-of-global-britain-paperback](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/434052204-hard-choices-the-making-and-unmaking-of-global-britain-paperback) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-21*
