To regain its capacity to effectively deter China and retain its unmatched global status, the United States must deepen its partnership with the nation's most innovative tech companies. In The American Edge, Seth G. Jones explains how the industrial bases of the world's great military powers have risen, fallen, and evolved relative to each other over the past century. In doing so, Jones reveals how the US is on a trajectory toward failure—a failure to effectively deter major adversaries, and to fight and win a great power war if necessary.

The development of the Russian military's strategic thought is an understudied and thus misunderstood subject in the West. Strategy in Russia encompasses the broader context of foreign and domestic policy as well as the military's ties to the country's leadership. The military's strategic thought is closely linked to Russia's existence as a state and explains patterns of Russian confrontation.

The new director of the Central Intelligence Agency, Walter Bedell Smith, had a mandate to reform it.
