New Glory: Expanding America's Global Supremacy | Premium Products for International Trade & Cross-Border Ecommerce | Ideal for Exporters, Importers & Global Businesses

I tell people the reason I'm so ugly is becuase I spend my nights reading books like NEW GLORY instead of getting my rest. Well, who needs sleep when we've got commentary like this on world affairs? Those who've read Mr. Peters' essays will not be disappointed here. NEW GLORY is Ralph Peters at his lucid, succinct, devastating best. Think-tankers, bureaucrats, leftists and neocons alike, and all the armchair dilettantes who infest the airwaves will not like this book because Mr. Peters pillories them mercilessly. Those people will feel threatened by Mr. Peters' ideas on what's wrong with our military and foreign policies and how to correct them. That is because they are the product of many years' actual experience as a soldier and world traveler, not academia or the E-Ring of the Pentagon or any of those other ivory towers where eggheads seek refuge from reality. One wonders if the hard, practical and cogent advice he gives here will have any effect on our current leadership. I doubt it, they're too deep into the swamp they've made of affairs. But I think the true value of a book like NEW GLORY is that it's aimed at the dynamic young men and women who will compose the next generation of leaders, capable young people who do know a hawk from a handsaw. If I'm right there is a new glory waiting us and Mr. Peters is its prophet.
