Admiral James Stavridis (ret.) and Elliot Ackerman join the program to discuss their new book, War in 2034: A Novel of the Next War, about a future war between the United States and China. The conversation is far-ranging and covers not only their book but other great reads, their writing process, U.S.-Latin America relations, and the nature of war and decision making.
