Graham T. Allison and Robert D. Blackwill, co-authors of Lee Kuan Yew: The Grand Master's Insights on China, the United States, and the World, contend, "For navigating in the buzzing, booming confusion of international affairs today, the strategic grand master is a source of wise coordinates."
Graham T. Allison, Robert D. Blackwill, and Ali Wyne say Singapore's Lee Kuan Yew is not selling America short. He is betting that despite seemingly overwhelming current economic challenges, "America's creativity, resilience, and innovative spirit will allow it to confront its core problems, overcome them, and regain competitiveness."
The founding father of modern Singapore answers the toughest questions that matter most to thoughtful Americans weighing the challenges of the next quarter century.
Graham Allison and Robert D. Blackwill state, "...Russia matters a great deal to a U.S. government seeking to defend and advance its national interests."
Russia remains one of the handful of countries that can deeply affect American national interests on a wide range of issues: nuclear weapons and proliferation, arms control, energy security, fighting terrorism, trade and investment, and democratic values.

Graham Allison, a leading expert on nuclear terrorism, says the Bush administration policy toward North Korea of "threaten and neglect" has been a failure. He also warns that faulty U.S. intelligence may be underplaying the threat posed by Iran's nuclear program.
Integrating nonlethal weapons (NLW) more widely into the U.S. Army and Marine Corps could have reduced damage, saved lives, and helped limit the widespread looting and sabotage that occurred after the cessation of major conflict in Iraq. So argues this report of a Council-sponsored independent Task Force led by Dr. Graham T. Allison, director of the Belfer Center for science and international affairs at Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government, General Paul X. Kelley, USMC (ret.), former commandant of the Marine Corps, and former military officers, business executives, academics, diplomats, and congressional staff. Incorporating NLW capabilities into the equipment, training, and doctrine of the armed services could substantially improve U.S. effectiveness in conflict, postconflict, and homeland defense. The Task Force report concludes that equipping U.S.-trained and -supported local forces in Afghanistan and Iraq with NLW would help reinforce authority and be more acceptable to local populations than conventionally armed troops.
