The Next War | Caspar Weinberger & Peter Schweizer

The Next War

by Caspar Weinberger & Peter Schweizer | Introduction by Lady Margaret Thatcher

Extended Synopsis

Authored by former U.S. Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger and investigative writer Peter Schweizer, The Next War serves as a riveting and cautionary roadmap of potential global conflicts. Utilizing a narrative, "Tom Clancy-style" methodology, the authors simulate five high-stakes scenarios across the globe, ranging from tensions with North Korea and China to the rise of ultranationalism in Russia and cyber warfare in Japan.

The core premise argues that post-Cold War budget cuts and a lack of military readiness leave the United States vulnerable to these crises. With a foreword by Margaret Thatcher, this work acts as a significant "call to arms," emphasizing the necessity of defense spending to prevent stalemates and protect American interests on the world stage.
