The New Total War of the 21st Century and the Trigger of the Fear Pandemic

by Gregory R. Copley

A total war of a new type, erupted in 2020 openly and irrevocably from its Beijing epicenter. The opening volleys of this war came to most of the world as a barrage of fear heard round the world . It was the most effective opening salvo of any offensive, 1941 s Pearl Harbor included. This volume traces the evolution of total war as it was conceptualized in the 20th Century into an entirely new and even more total format in the 21st Century, and what that will demand of societies. This is the fourth philosophical and historical saga by renowned author Gregory Copley, following The Art of Victory (2006), Urban Geopolitis in a Time of Chaos (2012), and Sovereignty in the 21st Century and the Crisis for Identity, Cultures, Nation-States, and Civilizations (2018). This beautifully-crafted book traces the sociological, economic, military, and other factors which were brought to a pivotal point in 2020. It is a textbook for how governments, militaries, and society can understand their options in coping with the totally transformed strategic environment. The book featuers an extensive and unique glossary outlining strategic terms and concepts, which will be valuable for advanced strategic thinkers and lay readers alike.
