Great! Very realistic!

I loved this book-it is a very realistic look into the future, where the good guys don't always win.

A timely wake-up call

While the writing may not impress the literati, the message is a crucial one to the United States. In the post Cold War era we will face conflicts quite unlike those we saw in years past. And if the US blithely relegates the military as an anachronism, it will likely be unable to react well. Weinberger and Schweitzer drive home the point that the global situation may change dramatically, contrary to the popular belief in stability. They show that foreign powers may question American authority (especially in the face of military cutbacks) while old alliance may crumble if the stakes are high enough. If you're looking for a novel or a technical analysis, find something else. But if you can stand being jolted with a probable scenario in which the US suffers defeat (or unfavorable peace), keep an open mind and read this book.

Thought Provoking!

This book was incredibly interesting and brought up great discussions with friends! However, Weinberger was so critical of Clinton's Defense Strategy that I could not enjoy the book to the fullest.

Thought-provoking.

I don't entirely agree with some of the scenarios, but more than worthwhile reading. It does not hold to the Clinton-era myth that this is a safer, less threatening world for the U.S.
