I a syndicated newspaper column on inter-
national affairs, regularly published in 45 countries. With Every Mistake is not only a collection of the very best of Dyer's recent work, but an examination of how, time and again, the media get it wrong or simply miss the point. And Dyer admits he didn't get it right all the time either.

In the tumult of daily events, Dyer keeps drawing us back to the big picture. With Every Mistake helps us understand the issues of universal importance: the growing power of China and India, the growing panic in the United States, the ever more serious consequences of ignoring environmental problems—and of course, the strategies (if you can call them that) that led the United States into the Iraq quagmire. For a crash course in the most pressing concerns of our time, there is no more knowledgeable and insightful guide than Gwynne Dyer.
GUYNNE DYER was born in Newfoundland
and entered the Canadian navy at 17. He has served in the Canadian, British and American navies. He holds a Ph.D. in war studies from the University of London, has taught at Sandhurst and serves on the Board of Governors of Canada's Royal Military College. In addition to teaching and lecturing, Dyer writes a syndicated column that appears in more than 150 newspapers around the world. He lives in England with his wife and children.
