Mc Fate\'s new Rules distill the essence of war today, describing what it is in the real wor.
With examples from the Roman conquest, World War II, Vietnam, Afghanistan and others, he tackles the differences between conventional and future war, the danger in believing that technology will save us, the genuine leverage of psychological and \'shadow\' warfare, and much more.
What is the future of war? How can we survive? If Americans are drawn into major armed conflict, can we win? Mc Fate calls upon the legends of military study Carl von Clausewitz, Sun Tzu, and others, as well as his own experience, and carefully constructs the new Rules for the future of military engagement, the ways we can fight and win in an age of entropy: one where corporations, mercenaries, and rogue states have more power and \'nation states\' have less.
This devastating turmoil has given rise to difficult questions.
He\'s seen firsthand the horrors of battle and understands the depth and complexity of the current global military situation.
Sean Mc Fate has been on the front lines of deep state conflicts and has studied and taught the history and practice of war.
We are living in the age of Durable Disorder--a period of unrest created by numerous factors: China\'s rise, Russia\'s resurgence, America\'s retreat, global terrorism, international criminal empires, climate change, dwindling natural resources, and bloody civil wars.
Some things change--weapons, tactics, technology, leadership, objectives--but our desire to go into battle does not.
War is timeless.
But if we do not, terrorists, rogue states, and others who do not fight conventionally will succeed--and rule the world.
By following them Sean Mc Fate argues, we can prevail.
Sean Mc Fate is a new Sun Tzu." -Admiral James Stavridis (retired), former Supreme Allied Commander at NATOSome of the principles of warfare are ancient, others are new, but all described in The New Rules of War will permanently shape war now and in the future.
