Táto kniha je o "vojne v európskych dejinách" nie o "histórii vojen", a preto by čitateľ nemal očakávať prehľad konfliktov v druhej polovici 20. storočia v takom rozsahu, ako v predchádzajúcich kapitolách. V uplynulom polstoročí európske štáty spolu nebojovali a je veľmi nepravdepodobné, že sa tak ešte niekedy stane. Ale ak by k tomu predsa len došlo, existujú aj iné dobré dôvody, prečo sa pozerať na rok 1945 ako na koniec jednej éry. Tí, ktorí veria vo "vojnu proti teroru", môžu tvrdiť, že Európa je v súčasnosti opäť vo vojne. Dokonca aj tí, ktorí nesúhlasia, sotva môžu konštatovať, že mier je stabilný, alebo že stabilným pravdepodobne ostane. Lev Trockij raz povedal: "Nemusíš sa zaujímať o vojnu, ale vojna sa veľmi zaujíma o teba". Nad touto myšlienkou by sa mali Európania, ktorí sú presvedčení, že vojna sa ich už netýka, zamyslieť. Európania už síce nemusia podnecovať vlastné vojny a vyvážať ich do zvyšku sveta, ale nevedia zapečatiť svoje hranice pred širšími konfliktami v globálnom systéme, ktorého sú neoddeliteľnou súčasťou.

It was meant to be a simple task of repossessing an executive jet from Nigeria... Mike became embroiled in a mess created by an English aristocrat involved in illegal currency dealing. At the same time, Mossad agents were plotting the kidnapping of a Nigerian diplomat in Kensington. To escape certain death from two groups of very angry Nigerians, Mike took off from Lagos International Airport, without permission, only to have the Nigerian Air Force waiting to shoot him down. They didn't succeed but Mike was arrested in The Ivory Coast where he finally landed. In a horrible twist, Mike's friends, two engineers who helped him escape, were jailed in Nigeria for two years. This incredible true story will make you hold your breath, laugh and cry.
