Lines of Fire: A Renegade Writes on Strategy, Intelligence, and Security

For three decades, Ralph Peters has been the most provocative and visionary American writer on strategy, security, intelligence, and military affairs, predicting every major trend that has plagued the post-Cold-War world. A career military officer and acclaimed author, he has always faced the issues others shunned:
The explosion of religious terrorism and its all-or-nothing nature
The resurgence of deadly ethnic strife as borders disintegrate around the world
The fateful weaknesses of our extravagantly expensive intelligence system
The dangers of over-reliance on technology to solve human problems
The endless nature of 21st-century warfare
Our military leadership's difficulty adapting to a changed world
The colossal waste of taxpayer dollars on dubious weapons--at a cost in soldiers' lives
Why wishful thinking is as deadly as fanaticism
