Retired General Wesley Clark on the Pitfalls of Wartime Decisions

Wesley K. Clark, a retired four-star general of the US army and former Democratic candidate for president, argues for a new American strategy for leadership. He examines how to best deal with pressing domestic issues as the long-term challenges to U.S .security—including terrorism, cyber threats, the rise of China, and climate change. In his book Don’t Wait for the Next War: A Strategy for American Growth and Global Leadership, he writes that war and making decisions in the midst of conflict is a poor substitute for strategic vision.
