The text for The New Soldier deals with the causes, symptoms and
solutions to global terrorism, particularly Jihadist Islamic-based
terrorism. The book is an expanded version of the essay "A Fearful
Symmetry: A New Global Balance of Power?" for which the author was
awarded the 2007 Grand Prize by the St Cyr Foundation, which
supports the St. Cyr military academy established by Napoleon
Bonapartein effect, France's West Point. The work was unanimously
awarded the First (Grand) Prize by a jury of four distinguished
panelists, and later translated and published in French under the
title, "Une Symetrie de la Peur : Vers un Nouvel Equilibre Mondial
Des Puissances?" (Paul Wormser, trans.)(CLD Editions, November
2008). The New Soldier is, in essence, a traditional soldier but
one who is endowed with compassion, empathy and cultural
understanding. This soldier is better able to navigate through the
unknown terrain of ideological, emotional and psychological
conflicts within the realm of global terrorism. The New Soldier is
a strategic tool in combating global terrorism, and may be
immediately deployed in multilateral forces. The practical uses of
the New Soldier in the context of fragile states, particularly in
terms of stabilizing and reconstructing war-torn or collapsed
states by multilateral forces is analyzed in great depth in the
book.
