Many thanks to Andrew Marr for providing the following generous review of Liam Fox's book, Rising Tides:
"Ever since the Iraq war, people have been bemoaning the lack of historical and cultural depth among Western politicians: Liam Fox, an unabashed neoconservative, responds with a book which brims with historical insight, detail and thoughtfulness. He has read widely, spoken and listened to many of the leading figures from the West, and thought very hard. Rising Tides presents a world which is dangerous and increasingly unstable – no news there – but acts as a calm and deliberative call to arms. It’s likely to be more influential than nine tenths of the books produced by Dr Fox’s colleagues." – Andrew Marr
