A Futuristic Spin on the Next Global Conflict

The Leonard Lopate Show | Jun 29, 2015

Military analyst P.W. Singer and writer and national security analyst August Cole look at what the next global conflict may be in their futuristic thriller, Ghost Fleet: A Novel of the Next World War. In the book, the United States, China, and Russia eye each other across a twenty-first century version of the Cold War, which suddenly heats up at sea, on land, in the air, in outer space, and in cyberspace. The fighting involves everything from stealthy robotic–drone strikes to old warships from the navy’s “ghost fleet.” 

 

Upcoming Events: 

New America at Civic Hall on Tuesday, June 30 from 6:30pm to 8:15pm.

Words After War at NYU, Wednesday, July 1 Singer and Cole will appear with authors Christopher Robinson and Gavin Kovite, Patrick Deer to moderate from 6:30pm to 8:00pm.
