In that time, he predicted every major trend that has plagued the post-Cold-War world. A career military officer and acclaimed author, he has faced issues ranging from the explosion of religious terrorism to the fatal weaknesses of our intelligence system and our dangerous over-reliance on technology.
Now Peters delves into these and other enduringly vital themes in this definitive, career-spanning collection of his writings. Lines of Fire is an indispensable volume for understanding today’s crises—and tomorrow’s.
