Riassunto

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.

Lines of Fire is a career-capping and indispensible work for understanding today's crises--and tomorrow's
