All Measures Short of War

The Contest for the Twenty-First Century and the Future of American Power

By: Thomas J. Wright

Narrated by: Keith Sellon-Wright

The two decades after the Cold War saw unprecedented cooperation between the major powers as the world converged on a model of liberal international order. Now, great power competition is back, and the liberal order is in jeopardy.

Russia and China are increasingly revisionist in their regions. The Middle East appears to be unraveling. And many Americans question why the United States ought to lead. What will great power competition look like in the decades ahead? Will the liberal world order survive? What impact will geopolitics have on globalization? And what strategy should the United States pursue to succeed in an increasingly competitive world?

In this book, Thomas Wright explains how major powers will compete fiercely even as they try to avoid war with each other. Wright outlines a new American strategy - responsible competition - to navigate these challenges and strengthen the liberal order.

Not Old but Very Dated

Lots of background info that could be useful, but this book quickly became out dated.

All fellow Americans no more white, black, brown, gay, female, male, ext..Golden rule works

The writer is mentally ill

Absolute disinformation and pure garbage.
Don't waste your time with this book. The writer is oblivious to any historical facts.

enlightening

well read and well argued, it places modern geopolitics in a very informed light that, whether or not is new to you, can at least provide clarity on how the past three decades unfolded

my opinion

This is one man's perspective on geo politics, as someone who has never thought much about them I appreciate the points raised in this book
