The Shadow War: Inside Russia's and China's Secret Operations to Defeat America by Jim Sciutto
The Shadow War
4/5. Concise survey of the various challenges posed by Russia and China to U.S. unipolar power in cyberspace, outer space, the sea, etc. This would be a very good place to start if the topic is unfamiliar; if it is familiar, as it is to me, this book doesn't supply much new, but does bring everything together in a useful fashion. It's also a bit less enamored of Obama than a lot of similar texts are. This is actually a compliment – there is plenty to criticize in Obama's foreign policy choices, but a lot of commentators are reluctant to do so.
