520    One of the West's leading intellectuals offers a 
       provocative look at America's withdrawal from world 
       leadership and the rising powers who seek to fill the 
       vacuum left behindThe 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 lays bare in this powerful and 
       disturbing analysis of the world today, America is 
       retreating from its traditional leadership role, and in 
       its place have come five ambitious powers, former empires 
       eager to assert their primacy and influence. Lévy 
       shows how these five—Russia, China, Turkey, Iran, 
       and Sunni radical Islamism—are taking steps to 
       undermine the liberal values that have been a hallmark of 
       Western civilization.The Empire and the Five Kings is a 
       cri de coeur that draws upon lessons from history and the 
       eternal touchstones of human culture to reveal the stakes 
       facing the West as America retreats from its leadership 
       role, a process that 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.As
       seen on Real Time with Bill Maher (2/22/2019) and Fareed 
       Zakaria GPS (2/17/2019).
