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 is over, and a competition is underway to determine what comes next. Inflection Point is an insider account of the Biden administration’s efforts to shape the emerging new world. Written by a senior member of President Biden’s National Security Council, Inflection Point recounts how the Biden White House dealt with multiple crises – Russia, China, the Middle East, the global economy – and examines the challenges ahead. How much damage will Donald Trump do to the international order, and can it be repaired by a future president?
