Reviews
"An ambitious effort to discern patterns in the rise and fall of world empires.... McCoy's account is compelling...with many provocative observations on world history and its present twists." --Kirkus "To Govern the Globe is a brilliant distillation of 700 years of geopolitics, exposing how we arrived where we are, amidst the worsening climate crisis and collapsing world orders. Al McCoy's eloquently written book is a call to action for us all, as time still remains to prevent an unprecedented cascade of catastrophes." --Amy Goodman, host of "Democracy Now!" "McCoy is one of the most eminent scholars in the world on the abuse of power and authority, on surveillance and repression, on the historical evolution of state-sanctioned torture in the US and elsewhere, and, more recently, on the rapidly declining state of the US empire. McCoy's latest book "To Govern the Globe" is a formidable work of scholarship spanning an incredible arc of world history. Yet it is a gripping and fast-paced read that manages to distill the complex history of the rise and fall of world empires into a gripping narrative that is simultaneously exhilarating and terrifying. The book's scope is so massive that only a scholar of McCoy's skill could even consider attempting to capture it. McCoy's meticulous understanding of the past and present failures and excesses of empires gives him the rare credibility to offer a detailed, damning picture of the grim realities humankind faces as history transforms into our future. After reading "To Govern the Globe," however, I must conclude that embedded within McCoy's book is a ray of hope demanding to be seen by us all before it's truly too late." --Jeremy Scahill, investigative journalists and author of Blackwater and Dirty Wars "McCoy's argument is meticulously footnoted and his sobering conclusions appear firmly grounded in data. The past may not be the best predictor of the future, but as McCoy notes, "the past remains our best means of understanding the present and our only viable guide to the future." -- California Review of Books "A fascinating look at the rise and fall of empires and what it means for world orders. From colonial exploitation and capitalist ravaging of people and planet to arms racing and warfare, Alfred McCoy offers a deep dive into how this history has led to the climate crisis, and the impacts it will have on our future." --Ray Acheson, disarmament program director at the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom "In an age where most scholars concentrate on a limited specialty, no one sees a bigger picture more brilliantly than Alfred McCoy. In this powerful, enlightening, and frightening book he gives us a magisterial view of the empires of the past--and of the force in our future which promises to dwarf them all." --Adam Hochschild, author of King Leopold's Ghost "To Govern the Globe is history on an epic scale -- sweeping, provocative, and unsparing in its judgments. Alfred McCoy's immensely readable narrative spans centuries, charting the rise and fall of successive world orders down to our own present moment shaped by China's emergence as a great power and the blight of climate change." --Andrew Bacevich, author of After the Apocalypse: America's Role in a World Transformed "It's hard to believe a book spanning seven centuries could be so timely. Yet, Alfred McCoy's probing and original study links the fate of multiple empires--including Pax Americana--to the all-too-relevant histories of protracted war, brutal exploitation, and catastrophic medical, environmental, and demographic crises." --Christian G. Appy, author of American Reckoning: The Vietnam War and Our National Identity, "A fascinating look at the rise and fall of empires and what it means for world orders.
