A gathering of tribes
The imperial millennia
Caravans at rest
A light unto the nations
The ecumenical state
The poet and "the prince"
Perpetual war and "perpetual peace"
Blood and leather
The American centuries
Monsters to destroy
Empty chairs
The master builder
A trusteeship of the powerful
An end and a beginning
The unipolar decades
The new world order
Seizing the day
Hard power
A theory of the case
Going it alone
A consequential aberration
Conclusion: The crucial years.
