Why read it?

1 author picked U.S. Naval Power in the 21st Century as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

The author, Droste Sadler, successfully tells me that the U.S. is most ill-prepared for the competition we are facing from China. He effectively sounds the alarm that we are at an inflection point, and we need to become more competitive now before it is too late.
