American military doctrine is typically led by technology; a new class of weapon or vehicle is developed, which allows or encourages an adjustment in strategy. Military strategists Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui argue that this dynamic is a crucial weakness in the American military, and that this blind spot with regard to alternative forms warfare could be effectively exploited by enemies. \u003ci\u003eUnrestricted Warfare\u003c\/i\u003e concerns the many ways in which this might occur, and, in turn, suggests what the United States might do to defend itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The traditional mentality that offensive action is limited to military action is no longer adequate given the range of contemporary threats and the rising costs-both in dollars and lives lost-of traditional warfare. Instead, Liang and Xiangsui suggest the significance of alternatives to direct military confrontation, including international policy, economic warfare, attacks on digital infrastructure and networks, and terrorism. Even a relatively insignificant state can incapacitate a far more powerful enemy by applying pressure to their economic and political systems. Exploring each of these considerations with remarkable insight and clarity, \u003ci\u003eUnrestricted Warfare\u003c\/i\u003e is an engaging evaluation of our geopolitical future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Echo Point Books \u0026 Media","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47890434162839,"sku":"9781626543058","price":1933.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781626543058.webp?v=1781179989","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/unrestricted-warfare-chinas-master-plan-to-destroy-america-9781626543058","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
