Adrift: How Our World Lost Its Way (French: Le Naufrage des civilisations) is a 2019 book by the French-Lebanese writer Amin Maalouf. It is a personal analysis of post-war international politics, covering geopolitics relating to the Middle East, increased social fragmentisation in Europe and changing political credibility in the United States. Maalouf names 1979 as a key year due to the Iranian Revolution and the election of Margaret Thatcher.[1][2]
