Book Synopsis
How the character of war is changing and how militaries can successfully adapt to meet the challenge

Trade Review
“Krepinevich’s thoughts on the changing face of war should be read by serious strategic thinkers. He makes a compelling case as to how and why America’s military, and those of its key allies, must pursue ‘disruptive innovation’ to address the growing threat from China and Russia.”—Nobukatsu Kanehara, Former Deputy National Security Adviser to the Prime Minister of Japan

“In this analytic tour de force Krepinevich delivers a graduate degree in military adaptation. Historically grounded and forward looking, his analysis validates urgently needed guideposts ensuring what we do today can confound the security threats of tomorrow.”—General Jim Mattis, U.S. Marines (retired) and 26th Secretary of Defense

“Krepinevich, one of this country’s most thoughtful and creative strategists, has spent a distinguished career studying military revolutions. His latest work draws on decades of research and reflection and is essential and compelling reading for scholars, policy makers, and military officers alike.”—Aaron L. Friedberg, Princeton University

“Andrew Krepinevich provides a stark warning of what failures await the US military if we do not change course with a sense of urgency. An essential read for those entrusted with keeping our nation safe.”—Congressman Mike Gallagher
