Farrell and Newman skillfully weave a tale of individuals, powers, circumstances and forces, showing how the rise and rise of world-is-flat rah-rah globalism created a series of irresistable opportunities for "#WeaponizedInterdependence." Some players of the game wield these weapons like a scalpel; others (like Trump) use them like a club.
