Covert Operations and Gray Zone Conflict - The Threat to U.s. National Security

Great power war is unthinkable due to the extreme destructiveness of modern weaponry. The book explores the specter of unrestricted warfare in light of Cold War historical precedents. Unless political and economic destabilization are understood as a mode of warfare, the West is at risk of succumbing to pernicious foreign influences.
