Bernard-Henri Lévy In Conversation with Robert Kagan

Bernard-Henri Lévy In Conversation with Robert Kagan

BernardLevyCOVER-197x300.jpg

The United States was once the hope of the world, a beacon of freedom and the defender of liberal democracy. Nations and peoples on all continents looked to America to stand up for the values that created the Western world, and to oppose autocracy and repression. Even when America did not live up to its ideals, it still recognized their importance, at home and abroad.

But as Bernard-Henri Lévy—one of the West’s leading intellectuals—asserts in The Empire and the Five Kings: America’s Abdication and the Fate of the World, America is retreating from its traditional leadership role as Russia, China, Turkey, Iran, and Sunni radical Islamism are taking steps to assert power and influence and undermine the liberal values that have been a hallmark of Western civilization.

The Empire and the Five Kings draws upon lessons from history and human culture to reveal the stakes facing the West as America steps back from its leadership role, a process that Lévy asserts did not begin with Donald Trump’s presidency and is not likely to end with him. The crisis is one whose roots can be found as far back as antiquity and whose resolution will require the West to find a new way forward if its principles and values are to survive.
