The Fight to Defend the Free World
Book • 2021
In 'Battlegrounds', H.R.
McMaster identifies six significant arenas where the United States must compete: Russia, China, South Asia, the Middle East, Iran, and North Korea.
He provides a historical diagnosis of the threats posed by each and proposes a framework for competition.
McMaster argues that the U.S.
has lost ground globally since the end of the Cold War due to a failure to understand adversaries' motives and interests.
The book emphasizes the need for 'strategic empathy' and a clear-eyed approach to national security, critiquing past administrations for their naivety and advocating for a more resolute and coherent foreign policy strategy.
