General H.R. McMaster, former National Security Advisor during Trump's administration, comes a bold assessment of the most critical foreign policy and national security challenges of our age.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe world has undergone a significant shift in power since the end of the Cold War. In his book, Battlegrounds, bestselling author, commander, scholar, and National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster examines the rising strength of Russia and China, the threat from hostile states Iran and North Korea, the complex battlegrounds in South Asia and the Middle East, and the new arenas of international competition—space, cyberspace, and emerging technology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow can foreign policy, which has across multiple administrations proved itself outdated, misconceived, inconsistent, and poorly implemented, be transformed to face the challenges of today? How can Western countries like America and the UK stay relevant, secure, and humane? How can we abandon what McMaster calls 'Strategic Narcissism' in favor of 'Strategic Empathy—an approach that relies on understanding other nations' motivations and ideologies?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA groundbreaking reassessment of international security and survival, McMaster gives vital insight to life inside the most powerful office and military force in the world, and makes bold arguments for how to achieve a safer, more peaceful future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 394g \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 129 x 197 x 38 (mm) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780008410438\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"H.R.
