If you want to read about the kind of war I'm talking about in an earlier time, a "what might have been" scenario, it's just as frightening today as it was for the fictional participants then. And just as puzzling. Who knew? And today? Who is ready? Maybe the U.S. government, perhaps other governments, and perhaps no one is really ready. Read about it here…
