The Next WarFormer United States Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger teams up with Peter Schweizer to offer six future war scenarios set between the years 1998 and 2007. Some are more plausible than others (a Chinese invasion of Taiwan seems likelier than a trade war becoming a shooting match between the U.S. and Japan), but all read like thrillers. The speculation, however, is more than idle entertainment. The authors have a hawkish point to make. In their introduction, they worry that budget cuts are leaving the U.S. unprepared to fight the next war. Their six narratives make an indirect case for maintaining or increasing the Pentagon's budget. Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher writes a short foreword.
