An engaging guide to the various ways in which war is now waged-and
how to adapt to this new reality "This brisk everyman's
guide-straight-talking and free of jargon-is a useful tasting menu
to a fast moving, constantly evolving set of problems. . . . A
lively reminder that war adapts to technology, that civilians are
part of modern conflict whether they like it or not."-Roger Boyes,
The Times "Galeotti's field guide is an admirably clear overview
(in his words, 'quick and opinionated') of a form of conflict which
is vague and hard to grasp. Variously described as hybrid,
sub-threshold or grey-zone warfare, this is the no man's land
between peaceful relations and formal combat."-Helen Warrell,
Financial Times Hybrid War, Grey Zone Warfare, Unrestricted War:
today, traditional conflict-fought with guns, bombs, and drones-has
become too expensive to wage, too unpopular at home, and too
difficult to manage. In an age when America threatens Europe with
sanctions, and when China spends billions buying influence abroad,
the world is heading for a new era of permanent low-level conflict,
often unnoticed, undeclared, and unending. Transnational crime
expert Mark Galeotti provides a comprehensive and groundbreaking
survey of the new way of war. Ranging across the globe, Galeotti
shows how today's conflicts are fought with everything from
disinformation and espionage to crime and subversion, leading to
instability within countries and a legitimacy crisis across the
globe. But rather than suggest that we hope for a return to a
bygone era of "stable" warfare, Galeotti details ways of surviving,
adapting, and taking advantage of the opportunities presented by
this new reality.
