Summary

John Robb's astonishing insights have taken him from obscure military blogger to widely read strategic thinker. In this groundbreaking instant classic, Robb explains how terrorists are waging a global war against larger adversaries with relative ease and carrying out small, inexpensive actions, like sabotaging an oil pipeline, that generate a huge return. He shows how combating the shutdown of the world's oil, high-tech, and financial markets could cost us the thing we've come to value the most, global economic and cultural integration, and what we must do now to safeguard against this new method of warfare. John Robb (Boston, MA) is a former U.S. counterterrorism operation commander, successful technology entrepreneur, and respected analyst. His writings on war have appeared in the New York Times, Wired, and Fast Company.
