Reviewed by: Captain Mark Vicik, US Army
Great-power competition demands more than military might—it requires a grand strategy. In No Peer Rivals, Ionut Popescu argues that the United States must embrace a bold, offensive realist approach to maintain its global leadership against rising challengers like China and Russia. This provocative book offers a clear roadmap for navigating the strategic complexities of a multipolar world.
