Sean McFate is an authentic scholar-warrior with a novel perspective on U.S. national security. A former soldier in the U.S. Army and a former private military contractor, he served on unique assignments that diverged from the typical experiences of U.S. servicemen and women in Iraq and Afghanistan. He built the army of Liberia on a contract for the U.S. government and stopped a genocide in Burundi among his many accomplishments. He voices a compelling alternative view on strategy, the future of war, world order, and what it takes to achieve victory in the modern age.
