My new book has a cover! The Eurasian Century: Hot Wars, Cold Wars, and the Making of the Modern World is about the great struggles that shaped the modern era, and how they help explain the challenges we face today.

Ukraine is doing better on the battlefield than at any time in years. But questions remain about how lasting its advantage is--and how dangerous a pressured Putin could be.

I have a new edited collection coming out in a few weeks, on the geopolitics of AI. A terrific group of writers are involved, from academia, the tech world, and the policy community. See here for a teaser, which hits on some of the crucial themes:

The global shock waves of the Iran war will be felt for years--perhaps chief among them, the effects on a US military that has performed impressively, but will find itself overstretched and under-armed for some time to come.

Japan is becoming a middle power superpower--and unlike other middle powers, it's hugging America tight even as it hedges against an uncertain future. A long-read based on my recent trip to Tokyo.

The fate of a huge arms sale to Taiwan will show whether Trump can compete with China while engaging Xi--or whether he's just sliding toward a potentially disastrous posture of accommodation.

You won’t get a better snapshot of where the world is going than the two recent summits in Beijing. Xi, Trump, and Putin are all breaking the old order—and making a turbulent new age.

The Iran war is intensifying a full-blown crisis of the transatlantic alliance. But it's having more subtle, and sometimes more positive, effects for US alliances in Asia and the Middle East.

The world is getting more dangerous.
Confidence in America is declining. That’s allowing a cohort of defense export all stars to grab greater profits—and greater global influence.

It's hard to say whether the crisis with Iran is easing. But the broader, global implications of the war are already unfolding, and they are stunning in their impact and scope.

Welcome to the age of the missile war, where combat is faster, sanctuaries are harder to find, and escalation could prove more challenging to control.
