About this book
Everything you think you know about war is wrong. War is timeless. Some things change - weapons tactics leadership - but our desire to go into battle does not. We are in the midst of an age of conflict: global terrorism Russias resurgence and Chinas rise international criminal empires climate change and dwindling natural resources. The stakes are high and we are dangerously unprepared. As a former paratrooper and military contractor Sean McFate has been on the front lines of deep state conflicts. He has seen firsthand the horrors of battle and as a strategist understands the complexity of the current military situation. The West is playing the same old war games but the enemy has changed the rules. In this new age of war: -technology will not save us -victory will belong to the cunning not the strong -plausible deniability is more potent than firepower -corporations mercenaries and rogue states have more power than nation states and loyalty will sit with the highest bidder. Learn how to triumph in the coming age of conflict in ten new rules. Adapt and we can prevail. Fail and size and strength wont protect us. This is The Art of War for the 21st century.
