Reviews

A timely concept splendidly executed...brings to bear an arsenal of the highest-caliber insights. This is one of the few genuinely-worthwhile books on contemporary military affairs...highly recommended! -Ralph Peters, author of Fighting for the Future<br> It has been said that no great power has reformed its military absent a major military defeat. This book offers a blueprint, a compass, and hope for 21st Century America to avoid this fate. It should become central in a post-Cold War debate over the future of the American military. -Gary Hart, Co-chair, U.S. Commission on National Security/21st Century and former member, Senate Armed Services committee<br>
