Unrestricted Warfare: China's Master Plan to Destroy America

Really interesting book. Can be heavy reading at times so I had to be in the mood for it. Definitely makes you think about what’s happening in the world behind the scenes.

These visionary military officers theorised how to make an end run around the current geopolitical hegemonic power with unrestricted watefare, extending the battlefield into culture, media, biological cyber and outer space. Current events suggest this is no longer mere theory and the method seems to be working.

A book on military strategy written in 1999 by two colonels in the People's Liberation Army, Qiao Liang (乔良) and Wang Xiangsui (王湘穗). Its primary concern is how a nation such as China can defeat a technologically superior opponent, such as the United States, through a variety of means. Rather than focusing on direct military confrontation, this book instead examines a variety of other means including economic warfare, hacking and other strategies.A must read for anyone wanting to understand China's political leaders' mindset.

An interesting book which gives a very clear insight into PLA thought and intentions, we have been warned. I felt I was in the late 1937 reading Heinz Guderian’s ‘Achtung - Panzer!’ at times. I hope the decision makers in the democracies are paying attention and not asleep at the helm as they were then?

If the authors are correct, war will transform into something new and unheard of. War will no longer confine itself to the toy-metal battlefields, with adrenaline-rushed soldiers or blood, rather it will transcend the boundaries of all aspects of society, and strike us in our sleep. This work is highly recommended for anyone with interest in military theory, philosophy or even practice.

Wars have taken on a whole new arena and the rules of engagement have changed forever ,today's war will not look remotely like tomorrow's war ,but one fact is irrefutable and that is the fact that people will die ,whether by military means or the effects of economic sanctions.

Very interesting book but the translation is hard to understand sometimes

Excellent book - ignore the hyperbolic preface.
