AN EYE OPENER BOOK ON HOW NARRATIVES ARE SET BY NATIONS
Just finished reading the Ultimate Goal by Mr Vikram Sood. An enormous amount of research has gone into writing this highly factual book. Most of the chapters are on American and British Govt,their manuplating narratives to fool the world to believe what they want other nations to see and believe to achieve their political and economic goals. How lies are repeated time and again mixed with truth till it is a gospel truth. When Russia helps Trump to win elections in the US,it is interference in its internal affairs but they forget how legitimate elected govts are toppeled by them all over the world. The Book goes into details how various govts are toppeled by US and UK. Even Islamophobia govts are acceptable to them for economic gains. The Book explains how various US lobby groups like weapon producing companies, pharmaceuticals, oil Giants or Infrastructure companies manipulate govts to wage wars for their personal gains. There are also chapters on USSR and China,how they set their narratives. And finaly it to goes into details how Britishers used India and divided this country for their personal national interest. This book a must read for our younger generation who have fallen pray to Western propaganda and forgotten their own history and rich culture. Mr V Sood has good command over English, he has put to use all his vocabulary to write this book, at times one has to open dictionary to understand. Over all an excellent read. One feels why our previous govts did not set narrative for our country.Mr Dhobal and Mr Modi, have understood the requirement and started to work on indian narrative.

The ultimate game robs you of your innocence about the world affairs.Exposes how the rich, influential and powerful rule the roost and shape global narratives. Consequently how only a few get to enjoy the exploits made upon the fragility of human behaviour.Further highlighting that a great, powerful nation is not just a matter of its greatness but the perception and projections in the mind of the people.And hence, to be respected, every nation needs members who stand united to external games.To script its own destiny, a nation needs coherence and clarity abt the way they want to be perceived in the world. Knowing how to make themselves heard hold the key to its rise in global arena.

A deep dive into the american state, its narrative building machine and its rise as a global power !
This book by Vikram Sood delivers best on America and Europe. How they continue to shape global narratives and side line aspirational countries from global south. Chapters are also dedicated on the contribution of the US to the growth of radical islam from the late 70s and how it turned the tables post 9/11. A great reading for those youngsters who were not born when these events took place, to understand the truth that is hidden behind american narratives. And more importantly, the author mentions the importance of India building its own narrative than being narrated by the West. The only thing as a negative here is that the author focuses on too many subjects in one single book that some chapters are a tiring read with lot of names and characters.
