Stuck In the Middle
Description
The missiles are running out. The Navy is shrinking. The manufacturing base that would rebuild both is gone. And while America has been fighting twenty-year wars with no clear objectives, China has been building railroads.
Stuck in the Middle maps the geopolitical trap closing around the United States right now - hollowed military, captured institutions, four converging structural crises, and a quiet empire expanding into every space American power has vacated. This is not a book about what might happen. It is a book about what is already in motion and where it leads.
The second half documents the tools that could change the outcome - nuclear modernization, AI as a force multiplier, the innovation thesis, and the strategic high ground still available to a country that decides to take it seriously. The problem is documented. So is the way out.
Richard Lowe has published more than 113 books on technology, business, and American culture. He lives in Florida.
Stuck in the Middle is part of the Enemies of You series - seven books documenting the forces operating against you from the inside out. Each book stands alone. Together they form a single argument about the forces trying to control and enslave you for their own purposes.
