Franz-Stefan Gady contends that the US military approach to a potential conflict over Taiwan is unlikely to succeed, relying heavily on both rapidly established information superiority and a decisive victory. This may increase the threat of nuclear escalation between the world's only superpowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe more likely scenario is a prolonged war of attrition across land, sea, air, space and cyberspace. America's society, armed forces and industrial capacity are ill-prepared for this--a deficiency stemming from a military culture that prioritises advanced technology over mass, and from a lack of public or political will for the sacrifices required by such a conflict.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGady's superb research and analysis, based on US doctrine, force structure and general 'ways of war', reveal the significant risks to the United States in a potential conflict with China, whether in the 2020s or 2030s.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"C Hurst \u0026 Co Publishers Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54249493594456,"sku":"9781805263760","price":31.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781805263760_ce1eb763-51ea-4593-8379-6f2f946f3ae4.jpg?v=1778653820","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/how-the-united-states-would-fight-china","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
