Just finished this outstanding book on the future of our War fighting capability, which prior to operation epic fury, many thought was in serious trouble. At any rate, despite our unchallenged success v Iran, more needs to be done to assure America's military dominance for the next great confrontation...China.

Mobilize: How to Reboot the American Industrial Base and Stop World War III
by Shyam Sankar (Author), Madeline Hart (Author)
Synopsis
“This book is a must read for anyone who gives a damn about our country’s future.”
—Shawn Ryan, former Navy SEAL and host of the Shawn Ryan Show
America is in an undeclared state of emergency. Not since the Cold War has the US faced such powerful enemies—and our military isn’t ready. Shyam Sankar, Chief Technology Officer of Palantir, issues an urgent call to action: Mobilize.
The American industrial base once underwrote American victory. Builders and workers rallied to win World War II. For most of the twentieth century, great American companies from General Mills to Chrysler had defense businesses that sent mankind into space and won the Cold War. But the forges fell silent and the furnaces went dark. America’s innovators and warfighters were ripped apart. Now China, not America, leads the world in manufacturing. America is the underdog. The good news is, we’ve been here before.
Mobilize tells the remarkable true stories of the Americans who moved heaven and earth to produce for our troops and help our country win the twentieth century. And it exposes the shocking blunders that broke the Pentagon and weakened our military.
There’s a war for America’s future, stymied between the forces of complacency and change. If we empower exceptional individuals and harness the power of capitalism and competition, America can unleash the brains and brawn we need to resurrect our industrial base, stop World War III, and help our country build—and win.
