Franz-Stefan Gady contends that the US military approach to a potential conflict over Taiwan is unlikely to succeed, relying heavily on both rapidly established information superiority and a decisive victory. This may increase the threat of nuclear escalation between the world's only superpowers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe more likely scenario is a prolonged war of attrition across land, sea, air, space and cyberspace. America's society, armed forces and industrial capacity are ill-prepared for this--a deficiency stemming from a military culture that prioritises advanced technology over mass, and from a lack of public or political will for the sacrifices required by such a conflict. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGady's superb research and analysis, based on US doctrine, force structure and general 'ways of war', reveal the significant risks to the United States in a potential conflict with China, whether in the 2020s or 2030s.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Franz-Stefan Gady\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0197838308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780197838303\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Franz-Stefan Gady","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47419007697151,"sku":"9780197838303","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c45b8547-525d-4f3f-bfde-4e3e75a44282.jpg?v=1761508880","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/how-the-united-states-would-franz-stefan-gady-9780197838303","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
