- More about Dragons and the Snakes: How the Rest Learned to Fight the West
The fall of the USSR has led to the emergence of new threats, such as hybrid and urban warfare, political manipulation, and digital technology, which pose a serious threat to America and its allies.

The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1993 marked a significant turning point in global politics, with the CIA director warning that Western powers had vanquished a formidable dragon but now faced a bewildering array of poisonous snakes. Since then, both state enemies like Russia and China and terrorist and guerrilla organizations have observed the United States' struggles in Iraq and Afghanistan and developed innovative methods to counter them. These methods include hybrid and urban warfare, political manipulation, and the harnessing of digital technology.
In his book "The Dragons and the Snakes: How the West Can Defeat Its Enemies," renowned soldier-scholar David Kilcullen delves into the knowledge and tactics acquired by the West's adversaries during the twenty-first century conflict. He exposes the West's vulnerabilities and explains how their cutting-edge strategies and adaptability pose a severe threat to America and its allies. Kilcullen challenges our understanding of the West's foes and offers insights on how the West can respond effectively.
The book provides a compelling and counterintuitive perspective on the new, vastly complex global arena. Kilcullen reshapes our understanding of the West's adversaries and offers practical strategies for the West to counter their threats. By understanding the tactics and strategies employed by the Dragons and the Snakes, the West can enhance its military advantage and safeguard its interests in the ever-evolving international landscape.
