Sommario/riassunto

"Power and Complacency: American Survival in an Age of International Competition highlights the disconnect between America's approach to international competition and the realities of how its adversaries conceive of war"--

By tracing the geographic and historical development of four global actors-China, Russia, Iran, and the United States-Phillip T. Lohaus illuminates four equally distinct approaches to competition outside of warfare.
