This is geopolitics at its most urgent: a strategic competition to control the undersea realm, a domain vital to global communications, international security, and the future of military and commercial technology. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Told in part from inside a US nuclear submarine--the most advanced war machine in modern history--\u003ci\u003eSub War\u003c\/i\u003e traces how America is fighting to maintain its edge undersea while rivals like China and Russia work to close the gap. The book details the evolving landscape of submarine warfare and the rapid rise of UUVs (unmanned underwater vehicles), alongside new frontiers in deep-sea infrastructure: from new threats to transoceanic data cables to seabed mining and mapping to rare earth extraction. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e It highlights how China views the undersea domain as both its greatest strategic vulnerability and a potential treasure trove of critical resources. Meanwhile, Russia is deploying advanced submarine designs to revive its geopolitical influence and threaten vital US and European infrastructure on the seabed. The Suez Canal, Taiwan Strait, and other international waters have become flashpoints in a submerged power rivalry. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e At the same time, the crown jewels of the American economy--Silicon Valley tech giants, AI firms, and global finance--depend increasingly on vulnerable undersea networks. Yet US commercial and infrastructure policy has lagged, allowing China to expand its influence in strategic ocean corridors. China is also on the verge of lapping the US in vital ocean sciences. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e From secret naval bases to deep-sea battle plans, \u003ci\u003eSub War\u003c\/i\u003e is a gripping tour of the technological, economic, and military frontiers shaping the future of naval power. Essential reading for those interested in international relations, defense strategy, maritime issues, submarine innovation, and the new great game beneath the waves that could determine the future world order.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bruce Jones\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1668031051\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781668031056\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scribner Book Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/10\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.99d","brand":"Bruce Jones","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48447100879103,"sku":"9781668031056","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_88c533eb-8714-43fc-b89b-781ef22e339f.jpg?v=1777228827","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sub-war-bruce-jones-9781668031056","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
