Beyond Terror: Strategy in a Changing World

The latest book of strategy from acclaimed military strategist and author, Ralph Peters, assembles 18 essays, some written after the terror attacks of 11th September, and some written before the attacks, show the prescient Peters' writing at its best. Always one step ahead of other strategists, Peters evaluates the status quo of world affairs and brings years of experience as an army insider to bear on the state of terrorism in the world today and his vision for how the U.S. should be fighting the war on terrorism and terrorists. Peters proposes an unorthodox view of intelligence analysis, attacks the lie that the American people will not accept casualties, and, in a tour do force, reveals the human side of Clausewitz. Drawing on the experiences of an unusual military career and travel to more than 50 countries, he portrays a world undergoing the most dramatic changes in history. Beyond Terror takes us far beyond the intellectual prison of traditional wisdom to offer the most original; thinking available on the strategic challenges confronting America in the 21st century.
