However, time and time again, the US government has made critical errors in important matters. What can be done to address this issue? Bestselling author Thom Shanker and defense expert Andrew Hoehn have come together to explore the problems in national security and propose solutions.

In their book, "Age of Danger," Shanker and Hoehn examine the significant challenges facing America, including superpowers like Russia and China, as well as emerging threats such as pandemics, cybersecurity, climate change, and drones. They propose a radical reimagining of the national security apparatus, transforming it into a powerful and effective machine capable of safeguarding Americans.

The authors argue that the US must create an industrial-grade, life-saving machine out of a system that has traditionally focused solely on deterring adversaries and carrying out global military operations. They emphasize the need for a comprehensive approach that addresses all threats, both domestic and international.

The book features expert analysis and exclusive interviews with a new generation of national security leaders.
