| Summary/Abstract |
Mikhail Gorbachev wanted to revitalise the moribund Soviet system by giving socialism a ‘human face’, thereby securing for his country an honourable place in the vanguard of world history. Even though this Tolstoyan undertaking ended in Shakespearean tragedy, horrendous slaughter was avoided and great things were achieved.

| Summary/Abstract |
Like his American counterpart, Chinese President Xi Jinping wants to make his country great again. But there is a crucial difference: not only does Xi have the vision, he also has a strategy, aimed at restoring the dominant regional role that China enjoyed for centuries, while pushing Chinese influence far beyond its borders and into the wider world. If he succeeds, Beijing will present most other nations with political, economic and military challenges unprecedented in modern times. And, to date, Xi’s efforts, built on those of his predecessors, have achieved remarkable gains at home and abroad.
