Three Dangerous Men: Russia, China, Iran and the Rise of Irregular Warfare Free Audiobook Download by Seth G. Jones

The three dangerous men are Russia, China, and Iran. The rise of irregular warfare has created a new international military conflict. Russia is the most notable country that has been growing in this category. Russia's irregular forces have grown significantly in the last decade. China's rapid economic development and its well-equipped army are making the country an increasing threat to its neighbors. Iran has motives to expand its natural gas production and sell it to Europe, but is also expanding into other industries like pharmaceuticals through corporate espionage and cyber attacks.

The book is a true gem. It offers in-depth insights into the three countries and the strategies they use to exploit other nations for political, economic and military gains. The book does not stop at Russia, China, Iran. It also examines how these four countries are different in their approach to irregular warfare: Russia uses more covert measures while China relies on conventional military capabilities, Iran prefers terrorist proxies and Russia maintains a policy of hybrid warfare while China relies on its conventional weapons.

The book takes a deep dive into how four states of irregular warfare may lead to wars. These are state-sponsored terrorism, the use of a "shadowy network" of criminal groups, irregular warfare, and small-scale war or insurgency. Russia has already been proven to be the state that is most likely to wage regular wars in order to get territory. China will probably attempt it too but not with the same power as Russia. Iran is never going to do anything and North Korea is only interested in waging irregular warfare against America and South Korea

Seth G. Jones's book, Three Dangerous Men: Russia, China and Iran and the Rise of Irregular Warfare discusses the ramifications of a new three-sided battle for world dominance which has just begun. The United States will no longer be able to concentrate on one major adversary with sufficient resources as it did during the Cold War.

Just when you think the world is stable, with the rise of democracies and sustainable ways to ensure peace and prosperity, three powerful nations are on the rise - Russia, China, and Iran. The author argues that these nations pose a direct threat to our way of life and need to be watched carefully. He notes that irregular warfare poses an increasingly large threat because it has no boundaries. Instead, it's more like "a call in a crowded subway car". A few countries are trying to take advantage of this violent state of affairs by shattering the international law framework.
