Emmanuel Todt is a French historian, anthropologist, sociologist, and political analyst. He is a rare thinker who relies on facts and data.

Todd was known for his keen strategic sense, as he had predicted the collapse of the Soviet Union in his famous book, “The Final Fall,” which he published in 1976 when he was 25 years old. The importance of Todd's proposals lies in his use of cultural factors in monitoring geopolitical data instead of the power struggle model that dominates strategic studies.
