Inflection Point: Biden, Trump, and the Future World Order

By Thomas Wright

From a Biden administration insider, an account of how global crises were managed and a warning of what is to come.

"I would like to share with you what I saw."

The old international order has collapsed, and a global contest is underway to determine what will replace it. Inflection Point is an insider's account of the Biden administration's attempt to shape this new world. Written by a senior member of President Biden's National Security Council, it traces how the White House confronted overlapping crises involving Russia, China, the Middle East, and the global economy--and how those choices will define America's role for decades to come.

Clear-eyed and urgent, Inflection Point reveals the debates, decisions, and strategic dilemmas inside an administration governing at a moment of extraordinary upheaval. It also looks ahead: How much damage could Donald Trump inflict on the international system if he returns to power--and could a future president repair what remains?
