Douglas Cohn is a 1968 graduate of West Point and was a U.S. army airborne ranger who led a recon platoon in Vietnam. His medals include two Silver Stars and the Purple Heart. He was retired as a captain after convalescing from gunshot wounds to the head, neck, chest, abdomen, leg, and hand. In addition to his twice-weekly syndicated newspaper columns, he is the author of the forthcoming The Presidents’ First Year (Lyons Press, 2015). He and his wife, Kathryn, reside in McLean, Virginia.
Captain Cohn does a masterful job of using an extraordinary knowledge of world and military history, international relations and politics to project realistic future global threats and possible scenarios for a non-nuclear WW4. A must read for national security and military strategists. (A. James Madora, Maj. Gen., USA (Ret.))
The basis for each of Captain Cohn’s scenarios is present today, and each one could be devastating. Worse still is the possibility of their occurring in combination. They are worthy of reflection in this superb, remarkable analysis, however unsettling. (Brig. General Clarke Brintnall, USA (Ret.), former National Security Council staff)
Many have said that the United States was blindsided by the events of 9/11 (leading to 14 years of war and counting) because of a failure of imagination. Captain Cohn has used his masterful knowledge and understanding of history, diplomacy and military operations to imagine multiple scenarios of future global conflict possibilities that make for entertaining reading for all, and required reading for everyone at every level of the national security apparatus. (Alan Salisbury, USA (Ret.), former commanding general of US Army Information Systems Engineering Command)
Captain Cohn discusses an impressive array of possibilities for serious military conflicts in the near and foreseeable future. This work makes clear that many dangerous threats to our security require attention to strong national security preparedness. I recommend reading for all policy makers and national politicians. (Rear Admiral (Upper Half) J. Cameron Fraser US Navy (Ret.), former commander of the US Navy's Atlantic Fleet Seabee units)
Built solidly on today, this concise volume soundly projects nine possible tomorrows. This splendid book is a top-notch read. (Brig. General Donald P. Whalen, USA (Ret.), former Director of Weapons Systems, Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Research, Development, and Acquisition, Department of the Army)
In this uncertain and complex world effective national security strategic planning must explore multiple plausible scenarios. Captain Cohn aptly describes nine from their origin through development to conclusion. The daunting challenge is to be prepared to shape their outcomes in our national interest. (Lt. Gen. Henry (Hank) J. Hatch, USA (Ret.), former Chief of Engineers)
