Reviews :
“Alexander Mirtchev’s sweeping exploration of the changing energy landscape looks far into the future and outlines issues that will occupy scholars and policymakers for decades to come.”
The Hon. Henry Kissinger
Chairman, Kissinger Associates
Former Secretary of State and National Security Advisor
“Dr. Alexander Mirtchev’s new book, THE PROLOGUE: The Alternative Energy Megatrend in the Age of Great Power Competition, provides a timely and truly inspired perspective on 21st century global security challenges. It has long been clear that security challenges of the 21st century are much broader and more holistic than they were in the last century when major power competition was largely defined by military power. Dr. Mirtchev’s book helps the reader unpack the complex relationship between economics, the alternative energy megatrend, security, and defense and the implications for the unfolding major power competition. Faced with this daunting complexity, Dr. Mirtchev urges policymakers to undertake the essential task of any successful strategist: to prioritize objectives to align ends with means and be smart. Fundamentally, THE PROLOGUE offers a valuable new framework for international strategic analysis and course of action.”
General James L. Jones, USMC (Ret.)

“With the advancements in alternative energy technology at the beginning of the 21st century, energy security thinking and planning will never be the same. Alexander Mirtchev’s profoundly original book THE PROLOGUE reveals the new dilemmas that will challenge policy makers in all major economies and provides for dealing with the new realities in a smart way.”
The Hon. Judge William H. Webster
Chairman, Homeland Security Advisory Council
Former Director, CIA
Former Director, FBI
“Dr. Alexander Mirtchev has written an extraordinary book that is far ahead of any other contemporary analysis in connecting the cross currents of global security, international economic competition, and—above all—alternative energy. His PROLOGUE belongs in the hands of any serious policymaker and will undoubtedly be studied at the nation’s top universities and war colleges. A masterpiece of original thought!”
