Could this happen?:
- Terrorists wielding biological weapons cripple an American city
- Hackers throw world financial markets into chaos
- An enemy nation attacks anonymously and at a distance, murdering innocent US citizens
- US peacekeeping troops become permanently entangled in another nation's messy domestic affairs
- We are obliged to use foreign aid to support our potential enemies
- Partisan politics produces government gridlock - and effectively shuts down Washington, DC
In this book, former National Security Advisor Anthony Lake draws on his experience coordinating foreign policy to examine six major threats to the security and well-being of American citizens. This is no conventional foreign policy book, but an important warning about future dangers and a riveting memoir of the past.
