Join ASA President, Ken Gleiman, for a conversation with MicK Ryan about his new book. 

War Transformed: The Future of Twenty-First-Century Great Power Competition and Conflict (from the U.S. Naval Institute Books) provides insights for those involved in the design of military strategy, and the forces that must execute that strategy. Emphasizing the impacts of technology, new era strategic competition, demography, and climate change, Mick Ryan uses historical as well as contemporary anecdotes throughout the book to highlight key challenges faced by nations in a new era of great power rivalry. Just as previous industrial revolutions have advanced societies, the nascent fourth industrial revolution will have a similar impact on how humans fight, compete, and build military power in the twenty-first century.
