Summary: Casper is a thinking man!
Comment: Do you think that we could win a war in the event one ever broke out? Are our current manpower levels enough to thwart off attacks from third world dictators? Can we suppress outbreaks of violence in the world?
In this 450 plus page book, which may house hypothetical situations, you'll read what could happen. You find yourself asking questions about our military leadership and you will even start to look at the world in a different light.
Weinberger's knowledge of military tactics, strategy and defense planning our unmatched and unparalleled. He was Secretary of Defense for over seven years. His knowledge of world politics is with a doubt superb.
Most impressive is the ability to show the complexity of the situations and show how the United States armed forces are matched against the world. Weinberger's works is nothing short of a miraculous - excellent reading!

Summary: A literary train wreck
Comment: This book was written as a series of five short stories, written in a style reminiscent of Tom Clancy, attempting to warn the public "Cut the military budget, we will lose wars." However, this book fails miserably in its goal. I read this book with the same morbid amusement that I derive from watching movies like "Battlefield: Earth."
After reading this book, I would not believe that any real policy maker had anything to do with this book. One might read this book and expect to be presented with well thought out, believable scenarios. However, one instead is presented with what seem more like "reruns"; each of the five scenarios read nothing more like rehashes of wars that the United States previously fought, with no insights greater than one could derive from watching The History Channel (to be fair, the Korea scenario is believable, simply because a resumed Korean war would resemble the old. But this does not hold for the other four.)
Additionally, this book is peppered with outright errors, or issues raised that seem like they were intended to raise every trigger in the alarmist's mind without regard for veracity. My favorite examples included "Japanese cyberstrikes", and China's population growth rate of seventeen billion (which to be fair, may be a typo, but even then, an explanation of why China's population control efforts failed would be in order.)
So in a nutshell, buy this book if you want a good laugh.
