Features: This book extracts the essence of strategy, advocating "Strength + Strategy = Swift Victory + Complete Victory." It was first completed in 1996 and was highly praised by Donald Rumsfeld, the Defense Secretary of the Bush administration. It was applied in the Iraq War, quickly becoming a must-read classic in the field of defense and military strategy. In March 2003, with the outbreak of the US-UK war on Iraq, many people recognized the term "Deterrence" more and more through the media and learned about the US "Rapid Deterrence Research Group," composed of retired senior generals. Among the most notable figures were Hal R. Elman and James Wade. However, shortly after the war began, General Elman loudly called out that the media had completely misunderstood the theory of "Deterrence." In fact, since the second half of 2002, when the US and UK were preparing for the "regime change" war in Iraq, the term "Deterrence" was hyped by the media, initially led by major newspapers such as the US "New York Times."
