The Defender's Dilemma

The book explores the evolving nature of national security threats to the West, highlighting a shift from traditional military aggression to more subtle tactics employed by hostile governments. These tactics include economic subversion, cyberattacks, disinformation campaigns, and coercion, which are often hard to detect and counteract. The effectiveness of nonmilitary aggression poses significant challenges, leading to substantial financial losses for businesses affected by these gray-zone attacks.
