IF YOU WANT PEACE, PREPARE FOR WAR

An urgent call to action by the Former Chief of NATO''s Military Committee

Admiral Rob Bauer, Former Chair of the NATO Military Committee, travelled the world to convince civilians, companies and policy makers that we can no longer take peace for granted. The better we prepare ourselves for war, the stronger our deterrence and the smaller the chance that we too will be at war.

If You Want Peace, Prepare for War outlines seven key lessons for the preservation of peace. It emphasises the importance of preparedness, and proposes to shift away from individualism towards collective security. With a blend of historical insights, personal insights and practical strategies, Bauer and Russell make the case for the importance of both military readiness and active civic participation in maintaining stability in an increasingly volatile world.
