AWW21 The Dragons and the Snakes - David Kilcullen

Soldier-scholar David Kilcullen is Australia’s most influential
contemporary military strategist. A former adviser to General
Petraeus and former US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, his
new book, The Dragons and the Snakes: How the Rest Learned to
Fight the West, examines the complex new world of modern warfare,
featuring the state competitor “dragons” and the non-state
guerrilla and terrorist players, the “snakes.” A remarkable
synthesis of three decades of military and political history,
this expert analysis of the new nature of conflict is as
illuminating as it is disturbing.
