Gandhian Paradox: is Great Britain the Most Serious Threat to World Peace? Rohit Relan

Publisher Marketing: As of January 2015, Francois Hollande and Angela Merkel have declared an end to the "War on Terror" and other such wars. The war on terrorism continues. An exposition of Divide and Conquer, Great Britain's strategy of conflict, and an explanation of the growth of radicalization. The author is a retired hedge fund manager, previously responsible for investments at George Soros, Soros Fund Management. Since history has been recorded, only one country has engaged in more conflict and engendered more strife and exercised more religious intoleration than was previously thought possible - The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Divide and Conquer was created, mastered and honed through centuries - in the theaters of war, in the realms of politics, in religion, and in the spheres of international relations. Great Britain used its strategy to its advantages and to achieve its goal of world domination. It is the only country to have not one, but two, empires - and one on which the sun never set. Gandhi's arrival changed all of that. In a pre-Gandhian world, Divide and Conquer was used for imperial conquest and rapacity. In a post-Gandhian world, Divide and Conquer is being used to weaken the first and most fundamental pillar of modern civilization - peace. Great Britain has done more to jeopardize world peace than any other country or peoples in history - including nineteenth and twentieth century Germany. This is an electric and searing account that traces the historicity of Divide and Conquer in the most deeply researched manner, using texts as far back as The Middle Ages - from the rabid anti-Semitism in The Middle Ages, and even earlier, that led to the expulsion of the Jewry from England by Edward I in 1290 to the pre-modern period that saw domestic strife in England being exported to Europe. From the 130 conflicts between the years 1500 and 1700 that saw England achieve the title of the country that has fought more wars than anyone else to the incitement of violence in the American colonies, Ireland, and Indians and the ravaging of India, China and Brazil between 1857 and 1947. From the policy of Splendid Isolation between 1947 and 1979 that somehow still afforded Great Britain many opportunities to incite violence in Europe and Israel - to Thatcher, who marked the birth of the process of modern terrorism. The same process is creating radicalization. Great Britain's hostility towards Muslims is not new - in fact, about several hundred years old. How do American businesses in London fail? Is this how allies behave? Underneath the veneer of manners and civility, the British are capable of acts of great cruelty. And when they engage with Blacks, the Irish and Asians, their civility morphs into savagery. One country is responsible for the culture association of Blacks with inferiority, Asians with compliance, Irish with alcoholism and Chinese with corruption. One country has a history of religious intoleration spanning a thousand years. Is Great Britain responsible for the positioning of America as the first target in terror and its conflation with the rise of extremism? In a brilliant weaving of politics, economics, history, psychology and sociology, quoting texts as precious as The Magna Carta and citing sources as esoteric and recondite as Aristotle, Socrates, Plato and Cicero - to contemporary figures such as Woody Allen, this is a stunning historicity that spans over a thousand years. This is the first, comprehensive and definitive explanation for the alarming growth of radicalization in Great Britain as the modern face of Divide and Conquer - and how Great Britain is exporting its antipathy of the globe around the globe, while simultaneously appearing to tackle terrorism. And how does Great Britain manage to get away with so much? Is it the unwritten constitution? Is it the British stiff upper lip? And what is the stiff upper lip?
