7 Deadly Scenarios

7 Deadly Scenarios

A global pandemic finds millions swarming across the U.S. border. Major U.S. cities are leveled by black-market nukes. China’s growing civil unrest ignites a global showdown. Pakistan’s collapse leads to a hunt for its nuclear weapons.

What if the worst that could happen actually happens? How would we respond? These are the questions that Andrew Krepinevich asks—and answers—in 7 Deadly Scenarios, a timely and chilling look at the changing face of war in the 21st century. Identifying seven scenarios that pose the greatest threats to our security, Krepinevich dares to think the unthinkable—and prepare for our worst nightmares.

As riveting as a thriller, 7 Deadly Scenarios will trigger discussion, thought and—hopefully—action.
