In the no-holds-barred tradition that has won him so many
fans across the nation and around the world, best-selling
author and strategist Ralph Peters confronts the crucial
security issues of our time--and the troubled times to come.
With his trademark clarity and force, Peters argues that we
have left behind the Age of Ideologies to enter a violent
period in which ethnicity and religion--blood and
faith--will continue to be the source of ferocious
rebellions, genocide, and global terrorism. His compelling
vision spares neither our foreign policy nor our domestic
follies as he ruthlessly outlines what it will take to
protect our country against this new breed of enemies. *
We have forgotten what it takes to win wars, leading to
tragic, unnecessary failures. * Too many Americans still
refuse to take our enemies seriously, even though terrorists
and foreign leaders are bent on inflicting apocalyptic
destruction on us. * Those enemies will use nuclear
weapons, if allowed to possess them. * Religious wars are
impossible to prevent--because our enemies desire them. *
The Middle East is headed for greater chaos, and Israel may
not survive. * Civilized approaches to combat no longer
work. * Pop bestsellers have read globalization exactly
wrong--it s leading the world to divisive crises of
identity, not greater unity. Despite these challenges,
the United States will remain the world s most-successful
and greatest power--but the cost will be determined by our
willingness to face a new century s brutal
realities. Wars of Blood and Faith continues the
ever-popular series of works by Ralph Peters on strategy,
conflict, and the military published by Stackpole
Books--titles that have not only excited and informed a wide
range of readers, but which have profoundly influenced our
national security.
