Originally published just before the 9/11 terror attacks, Losing Control warned that such catastrophic attacks were on the horizon. Paul Rogers saw a world where traditional military warfare could no longer maintain the Wests global control. He even predicted how the United States would respond to an attack with a war that could last thirty years.More than two decades into that seemingly never-ending conflict, Rogers, one of the most original thinkers on international security, revisits his classic work to cover the events that have unfolded over the past twenty years. Exploring the Covid-19 pandemic, the Trump presidency and paramilitary movements in the Middle East, Asia and Africa, he analyses the largely hidden transition to remote warfare.Losing Control argues that this new form of warfare is in fact a smokescreen to hide the real causes of global insecurity. The widening socio-economic divide, global marginalisation and climate breakdown are the new threats, forcing us to rethink what we mean by security.
