Résumé :
Fifty of the nation's leading experts in national security, military intelligence and global politics were asked two straightforward questions: Is the United States in a New Cold War? If so, what must be done to prevail? Their answers are impressive, compelling and surprisingly diverse in thinking. Each writer has contributed at least one unique take on the problem posed to him or her. Not that anyone doubts America is under threat from our four principal adversaries: China, Russia, Iran and North Korea. No disagreement about that. Rather, the diversity lies in the recommended approaches to victory. Some offer highly technical and precise strategies, while others urge broad reforms that promise to, as the saying goes, create the rising tide that lifts all boats. And some warn that the biggest threat of all facing our country exists not from outside adversaries but from the wide gulf currently dividing the two main political parties and our citizenry.Whatever the differences in content, however, the group shares a staunch belief in the character and resilience of America and its people, and the country's capacity to overcome even the most serious and dangerous challenges. Every one of the writers represents an outstanding example of that character. And their work clearly displays their devotion to duty and love of country. Despite the enormous threats currently facing America from the specter of a New Cold War, there is a single, recurring and unifying theme woven into the mix of commentaries. It is hopefulness - hopefulness in the country's people and spirit. And from that hopefulness, these accomplished individuals have created an effective strategy to, indeed, IMAGINE that America can win the New Cold War....
