An engaging guide to the various ways in which war is now wagedâand how to adapt to this new reality
 
âThis brisk everymanâs guideâstraight-talking and free of jargonâis a useful tasting menu to a fast moving, constantly evolving set of problems. . . . A lively reminder that war adapts to technology, that civilians are part of modern conflict whether they like it or not.ââRoger Boyes, The Times
 
âGaleottiâs field guide is an admirably clear overview (in his words, âquick and opinionatedâ) of a form of conflict which is vague and hard to grasp. Variously described as hybrid, sub-threshold or grey-zone warfare, this is the no manâs land between peaceful relations and formal combat.ââHelen Warrell, Financial Times
 
Hybrid War, Grey Zone Warfare, Unrestricted War: today, traditional conflictâfought with guns, bombs, and dronesâhas become too expensive to wage, too unpopular at home, and too difficult to manage. In an age when America threatens Europe with sanctions, and when China spends billions buying influence abroad, the world is heading for a new era of permanent low-level conflict, often unnoticed, undeclared, and unending.
 
Transnational crime expert Mark Galeotti provides a comprehensive and groundbreaking survey of the new way of war. Ranging across the globe, Galeotti shows how todayâs conflicts are fought with everything from disinformation and espionage to crime and subversion, leading to instability within countries and a legitimacy crisis across the globe. But rather than suggest that we hope for a return to a bygone era of âstableâ warfare, Galeotti details ways of surviving, adapting, and taking advantage of the opportunities presented by this new reality.
