Goliath: What the West got Wrong about Russia and Other Rogue States

English

By (author): Sean McFate

EVERYTHING YOU THINK YOU KNOW ABOUT WAR IS WRONG.

We are living in an age of conflict: Russia's resurgence and China's rise, global terrorism, international criminal empires, climate change and dwindling natural resources.

But while the West has been playing the same old war games, the enemy has a new strategy.

The rules have changed, and we are dangerously unprepared.

Former paratrooper Sean McFate has been on the front lines of conflict, and seen first-hand the horrors of battle. As a Professor of Strategy, he understands the complexity of the current military situation.

In this new age of war:

· Plausible deniability is more potent than firepower
· Russia has become a disinformation superpower, twisting the West's perception of reality
· Sanctions are blunt instruments that starve only the masses, not the elite
· Victory will belong to the cunning, not the strong
· New types of world powers will rule

Learn how to triumph in the coming age of conflict in ten new rules. Adapt and we can prevail. Fail, and size and strength won't protect us.

This is The Art of War for the 21st century.
