">............. The result is a lively, acerbic take on recent geo-political confrontations that makes an impassioned case for using persuasion rather than punishment to resolve the direst threats.’
There was a description of the content of the memoir of a political figure before this sentence. I think the term could mean an attempet or a point of view !!!

هجوم أو معارضة أو انتقاد
acerbic = bitter and criticism is usually described as bitter.
take on means
1. To undertake or begin to handle: took on extra responsibilities.
2. To hire; engage: took on more workers during the harvest.
3. To oppose in competition: a wrestler who took on all comers.
4. Informal To display violent or passionate emotion: Don't take on so!
5. To acquire (an appearance, for example) as or as if one's own:
Over the years he has taken on the look of a banker.
I think oppose is the exact meaning.

: This would be the meaning if "take" is used as a verb, but "take" is a noun in the context above
