Age of Danger: Keeping America Safe in an Era of New Superpowers, New Weapons, and New Threats is a just-published book by Andrew Hoehn, senior vice president at the RAND Corporation and former deputy assistant secretary of defense for strategy during President George W. Bush's administration, and Thom Shanker, director of the Project for Media and National Security at George Washington University and former New York Times defense correspondent. Shanker talked with Washington Examiner senior writer Jamie McIntyre about the book’s premise: that the U.S. national security establishment has been asleep at the wheel for the past two decades and is badly in need of a course correction.
This weekly recap focuses on the potential for a Chinese attack on Taiwan, America s persistent gun violence problem, managing Arctic fisheries, and more.
