Global Guerrillas

AUTHOR'S NOTE: The Resilient Community

What am I doing? I've been hard at work on my next book: The Resilient Community.

Recent thoughts? While I was writing this morning, I was surprised at how much Brave New War's (BNW) exploration of the future of warfare informs the new book on:

a) the nature of the emerging threats that will be faced and

b) how a Resilient Community can defend itself.

As a result, I think that people that liked BNW will find the chapter on warfare in the RC book very interesting indeed.

My goal with this book? I hope this book will provide readers with a useful eschatology for the current global system and a conceptual blueprint for the DIY (do-it-yourself) efforts necessary to build a Resilient Community.

The reaction the book will get? For those that completely tied to or immersed in the legacy system, this book will be a very scary read. For those that are fearless and willing to adapt in order to progress, it will become a go to reference.

BOOK REVIEW: Terror and Consent (Bobbitt)

I wasn't impressed with Philip Bobbitt's new book on terrrorism, "Terror and Consent." I've posted the review to Amazon. Short reason: his book relies on the popular and simplistic narrative fallacy (for example: "The Looming Tower") that explains the source and future of terrorism. I had hoped for something smarter.

THE GLOBAL GUERRILLA BRIEFING

Over the past several months, I have given "the global guerrilla briefing" over 14 times.  It was a roaring success with every audience.  Why?  It provides audiences with the insight they needed to understand what was going on in Iraq and the war on terrorism.  It makes sense of the chaos.  It also provides insight into how this war is going to evolve over the next 3-5 years.
