US Naval Power in the 21•' Century: A New Strategy for Facing the Chinese and Russian Threat

Abstract

Brent D. Sadler offers a comprehensive analysis of the greater maritime competition unfolding globally, especially between the United States and revisionist powers such as China and Russia. The book's central theme centres on the idea that the US, China, and Russia will engage in the most significant maritime competition in the upcoming decades. The latter are rapidly bolstering their forces in maritime domains to counterbalance US influence over the global commons. The author argues that the Cold War legacy-rooted American naval policy fails to adequately address the challenges of the 21* century. Serving as the latest policy prescription for American policymakers, this book outlines how the US can effectively tackle the naval challenges posed by China and Russia while remaining in peaceful competition. The book covers a wide array of topics expounded upon in detail by the author.
