520 8  Elbridge A. Colby was the lead architect of the 2018 
       National Defense Strategy, the most significant revision 
       of U.S. defense strategy in a generation. Here he lays out
       how America's defense must change to address China's 
       growing power and ambition. Based firmly in the realist 
       tradition but deeply engaged in current policy, this book 
       offers a clear framework for what America's goals in 
       confronting China must be, how its military strategy must 
       change, and how it must prioritize these goals over its 
       lesser interests.0 The most informed and in-depth 
       reappraisal of America's defense strategy in decades, this
       book outlines a rigorous but practical approach, showing 
       how the United States can prepare to win a war with China 
       that we cannot afford to lose-precisely in order to deter 
       that war from happening. 
545    Elbridge A. Colby is co-founder and principal of The

       secretary to defense for strategy and force development 
       from 2017 through 2018, during which he led the 
       development of the 2018 National Defense Strategy.
