New World Order

Offbeat travel writer Dixe Wills nails down the essence of every single country on the planet. Say goodbye to sleepless nights fretting over the average number of puls to the Afghani, or wondering what's in Bhutan today and whether it will still be fresh by the time you get it home. With a handy grading system to reveal who are the globe's real top nations and which ones are letting the side down on a monumental scale, it's no wonder that experts are declaring "New World Order" the most important book to be written in the last 500 years. Without it, all is chaos and anarchy. And that's a bad thing, apparently.
