Description
'The Return of Direct Defense in Europe' catalogs the rise of the 21st century authoritarian powers. Putin's Russia and Chinese global reach pose new challenges for the direct defense of liberal democracies. The focus is upon Europe and its response to the twin shocks of Crimea and the migration influxes from the war-torn Middle East, a migration dynamic aided and abetted by the Russian intervention in the Syrian Civil War.
