If the book is a debunking of the Friedmanite simplistic idea that ‘distance doesnt matter’, or the non-rational fear response “enemies could strike wherever and whenever they wanted, without warning and without constraint”, then it doesn’t sound to me particularly interesting.

You seem to feel that this book offers something significant and novel, but Im not getting what that is from the review. Perhaps some concrete policy examples eg ‘a globalist viewpoint would suggest countering threat X with response Y, but here is why that would be ineffective & here are some counterproposals’.

[Also, I couldnt help thinking of the Berlin Airlift as an example of technology mediating geography- aircraft clearly changed the meaning of the hostile-controlled space between West Germany and Berlin, but it didn’t make it disappear. Contrasted with the attempts to resupply the Stallingrad pocket by air a few years earlier].
