The world is splintering into competing spheres of influence and many would argue that we are already experiencing a new cold war, albeit one that’s unlike anything we’ve seen before. Influence, ignorance and ideology have been weaponised, with USA and China fighting on the global battleground to push their rival visions of the future.
As an officer in the British Army’s Royal Green Jackets, Tobias Ellwood gained firsthand experience in military operations - experience that has deeply influenced his strategic approach to defence and international policy. Subsequently a Defence Minister and Chair of the House of Commons Defence Committee, in Ten Steps to Prevent World War Three, he argues that there is a path towards a brighter future. Drawing on a blend of big ideas, personal narrative, lessons from history and geopolitical insights he attempts to uncover the mindset and strategies that can build a peaceful global future.
In conversation with David Soskin who sits on the board of Reaction which organises the annual London Defence Conference.
