About the Book: This book, The Art of War and Peace, explores the current global shift from a U.S.-led liberal order to a more chaotic and contested world. Using their extensive experience as policy advisors in conflicts in Iraq and Africa, the authors analyze the nature of modern warfare, from state-on-state conflicts to civil wars. The book investigates the role of technology as a “leveler” for smaller nations, and the importance of diplomacy and leadership in winning wars and building an enduring peace.
