Hormuz, (Paperback)

<p>For nearly eighty years, the modern world rested on a simple assumption.</p><p> </p><p>The strongest military power on Earth could guarantee the outcomes it desired.</p><p> </p><p>Oil flowed. Trade moved. Currencies held their value. The global order endured because someone possessed the power to enforce it.</p><p> </p><p>Then came Hormuz.</p><p> </p><p>In a narrow stretch of water barely twenty-one miles wide, a conflict emerged that challenged some of the deepest assumptions of the modern age. Cheap drones confronted billion-dollar weapons systems. Geography became a weapon. Energy markets shook. Global supply chains strained. The foundations of economic and military power were tested in ways few believed possible.</p><p> </p><p>This book is not about the destruction of a superpower.</p><p> </p><p>It is about the discovery that overwhelming strength does not always produce control.</p><p> </p><p>Through history, strategy, economics, and geopolitics, I. N. Paradise explores the crisis that exposed the vulnerabilities of the international system and raised a question that remains unanswered: </p><p> </p><p>What happens when a power can still destroy almost anything, but can no longer decide everything?</p><p> </p><p>Written while the consequences are still unfolding, <em>HORMUZ: Where the Old Order Went Under</em> is a dispatch from a turning point in history-a moment when the road that had guided the world for generations began to bend.</p><p> </p><p>The old order did not disappear overnight.</p><p> </p><p>But in Hormuz, it began to go under.</p><p> </p><p><strong>I. N. Paradise</strong></p>
