"The Kill Chain is a tour-de-force. Few people are as knowledgeable
and experienced as Christian Brose in thinking about the
intersection of emerging technology and national defense. He pulls
it all together in this compelling, unsettling, and outstanding
book."--Eric Schmidt, former Chairman of Alphabet and CEO and
Chairman of Google
"The Kill Chain is an exceptional--and an exceptionally
stimulating--guide to thinking about the military and technological
revolutions that will produce a fundamental change to the character
of war."--General David Petraeus (US Army, Ret.), former Commander
of the Surge in Iraq, US Central Command, and Coalition Forces in
Afghanistan, as well as former Director of the CIA
"Christian Brose has done the country a great service by writing
this important and timely book. The Kill Chain is a powerful and
thoughtful challenge to much of the conventional wisdom about
national defense. It also offers a compelling vision for how the US
military can get beyond business as usual to compete and win in
this new era of great power competition. Brose's book should be
read by every American."--Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR), author of
Sacred Duty: A Soldier's Tour at Arlington National Cemetery
"Christian Brose understands like few others the serious challenges
the U.S. military faces, especially in relation to China. He
delivers a powerful wake-up call to the American people and our
leadership--warning aptly that America's military superiority is at
grave risk unless we reimagine defense. Thankfully, Brose issues a
thoughtful and compelling plan for America to adapt effectively in
this gripping, must-read book."--Susan E. Rice, former US National
Security Advisor and Ambassador to the United Nations
"Provocative, jolting, superb, and on target! The Kill Chain is all
of those things and more. If you read only one book to better
understand the challenges facing the US military and the promise of
emerging technologies, this should be it."--Admiral James
Stavridis, former Supreme Allied Commander at NATO and author of
Sailing True North: Ten Admirals and the Voyage of Character
