Seth G. Jones is the senior vice president, Harold Brown Chair, and director of the International Security Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), as well as the author of Three Dangerous Men, A Covert Action, In the Graveyard of Empires, and Hunting in the Shadows. He lives outside of Washington, DC.
Seth Jones makes a compelling, riveting argument in Three Dangerous Men that the United States needs to reconsider significant aspects of the very concept of contemporary warfare. He provides a fascinating examination of the threats to the US from Russia, Iran, and China, describing how they are not just using traditional military capabilities to confront the United States, but hackers, spies, special operations forces, proxies, and private military companies - among others. This is a must read for anyone seeking to understand the present-day challenges facing the U.S. and our allies and partners around the world. -- Gen. David Petraeus, US Army (Ret.), former Commander of the Surge in Iraq, U.S. Central Command, and Coalition Forces in Afghanistan, and former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency
