Next War

”…a clarion call for the threats we will face and actions we must take in winning the first fight of a future conflict. This book is a must read for any commander’s professional reading list, policy makers, and military professionals of any grade or service.“– “Infantry Magazine””…one of the more valuable and well-crafted books you will read in some time.“– “Military Review””…a useful addition to the literature of the changing character of war. Its scoping and focus, and its application of the identified disruptors to current challenges offer immediate insights for today’s commanders and defence policymakers.“– “Wavell Room”“This book is not only a thought-provoking exploration of modern warfare but also a call to action for military strategists, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding the future of conflict. Study this book to learn what must be done to gain the foresight needed to deter, or if deterrence fails, to win the next war.”–Colonel Roger C. Fiske, US Army (Ret.)
