Synopsis

Right now there is no coherent plan that addresses questions like: If terrorists were to strike Chicago tomorrow, what would the US government do? When Chicago is burning, whom would they target? How would they respond? There is nothing in place and no strategy on the horizon to either reassure the American public or warn the world: attack the U.S., and this is what you can expect. There has also never been a plan that says: respect the sovereignty of the U.S. and they will respect yours. There are two tracks to the strategy presented in this book, strengthening state responsibility abroad, and strengthening the social fabric in the US. Because no one considers the state of the social fabric in light of the U.S.s foreign policy, or foreign policy in light of what we might all agree America should stand for, this book is unique. The goal? To provoke a serious national security debate that addresses and then redresses the gaps and disconnects between what the U.S. says, what the U.S. does, how the U.S. wants to be perceived, and how the U.S. actually is perceived. We offer a radically commonsensical way to recalibrate global security by getting countries to self-police.
