Drawing on his global experiences from Africa to Iraq, author Ralph Peters attacks today's crucial issues of our time head-on, with the clear eye and blunt voice that has won him a devoted following: <LI>Is Iraq worth it? What's the truth behind the politics? <LI>Are our defense dollars buying a strong military--or the wrong military? <LI>Are we missing great opportunities elsewhere while hypnotized by the Middle East? <LI>Must we accept that Islam itself is the problem? <LI>Will we face a war with China? What would such a war mean? <LI>Can Washington learn from its mistakes? <P>These are just a few of the controversial issues Peters takes on in a series of body blows to the status quo. Famed as the most original strategist of our time, Ralph Peters builds on the critical and commercial success of previous books, <I>Wars of Blood and Faith</I> (978-0-8117-0274-4) and<I> New Glory</I> (1-59523-011-4), to offer a stunningly fresh vision for our military, our country, and the world.</P></LI>
