Trade Review
"This is the definitive guide as to how the U.S. military plans to address what is likely to be the dominant form of warfare over the next decade." - Andrew Krepinevich, author of The Army and Vietnam "Surely a manual that's on the bedside table of the president, vice president, secretary of defense, 21 of 25 members of the Senate Armed Services Committee and many others deserves a place at your bedside too." - Lt. General David H. Petraeus"
