The bestselling novelist Ralph Peters (A Devil's Garden, etc.) has written Fighting for the Future: Will America Triumph? which is to be published shortly by Stackpole and distributed internationally by Greenhill. The radical text of this challenging new book calls for a complete reassessment of jaded theories and an overhaul of out-dated concepts of war and military power. Ralph Peters' gripping account demonstrates that the wars to come will be quite unlike anything that has gone before – a principle only half-grasped by today's military leaders, still dreaming about the conflicts they would like to fight. Fighting for the Future is a compelling account which champions the theory that the time has come for a compelte change of policy and revision of the very basics of the art of war within the American military establishment. Despite the United States being at the forefront of international politics, as the only global superpower, its doctrine for war is still based on a barely modified verison of Cold War principles. This controversial book lucidly points out the errors of a military caste cherishing the familiar and demands a wholly new policy in which America will have to come to terms with a new kind of enemy in a new culture of conflict.
