<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>A sobering and fascinating study on war in the modern era, <em>Unrestricted Warfare</em> carefully explores strategies that militarily and politically disadvantaged nations might take in order to successfully attack a geopolitical super-power like the United States. American military doctrine is typically led by technology; a new class of weapon or vehicle is developed, which allows or encourages an adjustment in strategy. Military strategists Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui argue that this dynamic is a crucial weakness in the American military, and that this blind spot with regard to alternative forms warfare could be effectively exploited by enemies. <em>Unrestricted Warfare</em> concerns the many ways in which this might occur, and, in turn, suggests what the United States might do to defend itself.</p><p> The traditional mentality that offensive action is limited to military action is no longer adequate given the range of contemporary threats and the rising costs-both in dollars and lives lost-of traditional warfare. Instead, Liang and Xiangsui suggest the significance of alternatives to direct military confrontation, including international policy, economic warfare, attacks on digital infrastructure and networks, and terrorism. Even a relatively insignificant state can incapacitate a far more powerful enemy by applying pressure to their economic and political systems. Exploring each of these considerations with remarkable insight and clarity, <em>Unrestricted Warfare</em> is an engaging evaluation of our geopolitical future.</p><p><strong>For a more economical Echo Point Books Paperback edition of <em>Unrestricted Warfare </em>please search ISBN 1626543054</strong><strong>.</strong></p><p><br></p>
