Items related to Beyond Terror: Strategy in a Changing World
In the precursor to his groundbreaking Beyond Baghdad (0-8117-0084-4), which dissects the war in Iraq and its implications for the West and the Islamic world, acclaimed military strategist and author Ralph Peters assembles 18 essays, some written before and others after the September 11 attacks, that show his writing at its best. Always one step ahead of other military strategists, Peters evaluates the status quo of world affairs and brings years of experience as an Army insider to bear on the state of terrorism in the world today in a collection that has already had a wide influence among government and media since its publication in 2002.
Peters proposes an unorthodox view of intelligence analysis, attacks the lie that American people will not accept casualties, and, in a tour de force, reveals the human side of Clausewitz. Beyond Terror takes us far beyond the intellectual prison of traditional wisdom to offer the most original thinking available on the strategic challenges confronting the United States in the twenty-first century.

From Booklist:
Novelist and retired army officer Peters gathers his recent short nonfiction in a useful and occasionally abrasive book focusing on the international climate for terrorism--where it comes from, where it may go besides the U.S., why Americans are a prime target (he doesn't believe much in American guilt), and what should be done to reduce American vulnerability. Some op-ed-style pieces take up such collateral subjects as American willingness to accept casualties in low-intensity combat and the absence of sinister fascist tendencies among army officers. Peters rises to conservative patriotic peroration in the pieces written during the three months after 9-11, and he exhibits distastes for the Clinton administration and for intellectuals, foreign and domestic, that will make parts of the book unreadable for some. Basically this is good, intelligent stuff, though Peters' predilections sometimes obscure its merits. Roland Green
