Battlegrounds: The Fight to Defend the Free World

The former National Security Advisor's New York Times bestselling critique of US foreign policy—with new material on the Jan. 6th assault on the Capitol.

In Battlegrounds, Lt. General H.R. McMaster, U.S. Army, ret., the former National Security Advisor under President Trump, delivers a bold re-examination of the most critical foreign policy and national security challenges facing the United States. In this new edition, McMaster addresses the January 2021 assault on the U.S. Capitol and discusses how citizens across the free world can work together to restore confidence in democratic institutions.

According to McMaster, American foreign policy has been misconceived and poorly implemented since the end of the Cold War. This has allowed threats to security, freedom, and prosperity—such as nuclear proliferation and jihadist terrorism—to grow. As National Security Advisor, he pursued course correction through a fundamental shift in policy. Now he provides a clear path to improving strategic competence and prevailing in complex competitions against our adversaries.

Calling on all Americans to rise above the vitriol of partisan discourse, McMaster stresses the importance of educating ourselves about the national and international security challenges we face. Only then can we work together to secure peace and prosperity for future generations.
