This brief volume is designed to clarify the character of America’s strategic rivalry with Russia and China and how the United States and its allies might prevail without enduring a total war or a massive nuclear exchange. The volume consists of four chapters and an appendix. The first chapter, “Winning the Coming Cool War,” describes what America and its closest allies must do over several decades to prevail in a “cool war,” in which collective analysis sharing and the securing of information will be far more important to secure victory than credibly threatening massive destruction with nuclear or conventional weapons.
