Description: "In 6 Nightmares, former national security advisor Anthony Lake examines six very real scenarios - each one a threat to America's safety - and lays out what steps we can take to prevent them. Is the United States prepared to counter sophisticated cyberterrorists? How do we prevent peacekeeping operations from spiraling out of control and turning into wars?

With years of experience on the front lines of American foreign policy, Lake predicts the regions that will likely be tomorrow's Balkans (Indonesia, Colombia, and the Caspian Sea) and analyzes America's level of preparedness in the event of biological or chemical terrorism (surprisingly low)."--BOOK JACKET.
