Global Fault Lines

Every war on the news today has roots older than the people fighting it.

Some conflicts do not end. They pause. They shift borders, change names, bury a generation, and return.

Global Fault Lines is a clear-eyed tour of the conflicts shaping our world right now - from the 2026 escalation between Israel, Iran, and the United States, to the frozen frontline in Ukraine, to Sudan and the Sahel, to Myanmar's fracture, to the rising pressure points across China, Taiwan, India, and Pakistan.

But this is not a book of statistics or strategy briefings. It is a book of people.

Written by advocate Vikram Singh, whose work sits at the intersection of law, justice, and human dignity, each chapter reads like a story handed down through generations - of families who measure time in ceasefires, of ordinary lives lived in the shadow of extraordinary violence, and of the stubborn hope that tomorrow might be quieter than today.

Inside:

• The Israel-Iran-USA escalation and what it means for the decade ahead
• Why the Russia-Ukraine war stalled instead of ending
• Africa's unresolved battles - Sudan, the Sahel, and the wars the world stopped counting
• Myanmar's collapse into a divided nation
• The flashpoints that could widen: Taiwan, Kashmir, the South China Sea
• How proxy wars and hybrid tactics let powerful states fight without declaring war
• The human cost - displacement, hunger, and the suffering that never appears in a casualty figure
• Why these conflicts persist: politics, resources, and power
• What paths to peace actually look like, however uncertain

Headlines flash like lightning. These wars are the thunder that never fades.

For readers of geopolitics, modern history, and anyone who has watched the news and asked: why is this still happening?
