Elbridge Colby Featured in National Review

Elbridge Colby, a former senior Pentagon official and author of The Strategy of Denial, argued that the U.S. should come to Taiwan’s defense; Patrick Porter of the University of Birmingham opposed American military intervention but supported efforts to deter a Chinese invasion.
