Drawing on his global experiences from Africa to Iraq,
the author attacks the crucial issues of our time head-on,
with a clear eye and the blunt voice that has won him a
devoted following:
* Was Iraq worth it? What's the truth
behind the politics? * How do Islamist terrorists
themselves see this global struggle? * Are our defense
dollars buying a strong military--or the wrong military?
* Are we missing great opportunities elsewhere while
hypnotized by the Middle East? * When it comes to
understanding terrorism, are Darwin and religion two halves
of one answer? * Must we accept that Islam itself is the
problem? * Will we face a war with China? What would
such a war mean? * Can Washington ever learn from its
mistakes?
These are just a few of the controversial
issues the author takes on in a series of body blows to the
status quo. Famed as the most original strategist of our
time, Ralph Peters builds on the critical and commercial
success of previous books, such as Beyond Terror and New
Glory, to offer a stunningly fresh vision for our military,
our country--and the world. Already an influential voice in
Washington, Ralph Peters continues to build a national and
international audience hungry for his no-nonsense insights,
his integrity, and a style that, no matter the complexity of
the issue, remains vivid and clear--a joy to read.
