Fundamentally, Paul Szymanski and Jerry Drew remind us that-more than just simply a clash of weapons-all warfare manifests as a competition between human minds. The same holds true in the battle beyond in outer space. The contests of space warfare will test the knowledge, experience, fears, beliefs, stamina, and will of the people, their military commanders, and their political leadership like never before. It is thus essential to prepare for the military implications of wars that extend into space, to root space warfare in the military thought of the past, to adapt it to the needs of the future, and to complete its integration as an essential part of the Western way of war.
Beginning with the word "war" itself, Szymanski and Drew guide the reader through a comprehensive consideration of the levels of warfare as viewed through the eyes of experienced space warfare practitioners. They make relevant centuries-old terms of art, linking the Napoleonic thought of the past to the network-dependent wars of the future and explaining esoteric disciplines like orbital warfare and electromagnetic operations in a way that will appeal to both novices and veterans of the discipline. In so doing, they expand upon the existing lexicon of war, instructing the reader on how to fight and win the coming war in space. Rich in symbology, illustrations, and historical examples, this book could not come at a more critical time for the security of the United States and its Allies.

About the Author
Space operations professional, military theorist, and author, Jerry Drew has been shaping the dialogue on military space operations for over a decade, most recently in his collaborative effort with world-renowned space warfare expert Paul Szymanski in their book The Battle Beyond: How to Fight and Win the Coming War in Space. Throughout his military career, Jerry has served in numerous operational and institutional assignments spanning a wide variety of missions around the globe. He previously held the position of lead space planner for the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command from 2018-2019. In that capacity, he served as an original member of the planning team that estab-lished U.S. Space Command and is considered a founding member of the Space Force for helping plan the new service's creation. In addition to one science fiction novel, one poem, and the foreword to one textbook, he has published a dozen articles and conference papers on topics as diverse as tactics, military history, robotics, high-altitude airships, and operational art. Jerry is currently the chief of joint space training in the Department of Joint, Interagency, and Multinational Operations at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College. He holds a Bachelor of Science in art, philosophy, and literature from the U.S. Military Academy and a Master of Science in astronautical engineering from the Naval Postgraduate School where his thesis work focused on applied robotic manipulation using small space-craft. Jerry is a 2017 Art of War Scholar and a 2018 graduate of the School of Advanced Military Studies. Through those opportunities he studied the Army's role in the early Space Race and the integration of space systems into operational-level planning. He completed his PhD in Space Resources through the Colorado School of Mines where his dissertation addressed harvesting nitrogen on Mars. He lives in Kansas with his wife and four children.
