Testimonials

Defense & Foreign Affairs is “indispensable to the running of the White House”.

- Don Regan, Chief of Staff to US President Ronald Reagan


Defense & Foreign Affairs “has neglected no spot on the globe in your efforts to inform your readers of the international defense picture.”

- Hon. Gen. Alexander M. Haig, Jr., former US Secretary of State; former Supreme Allied Commander, Europe (SACEUR); and former Chief of Staff to the US President


Defense & Foreign Affairs’ insight and objective studies on defense have always been an essential tool for military and political analysts. Your journal has always provided a great number of strategists with indispensable analysis on areas that they really need…I hope you continue your excellent work and I wish you further success.”

- Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi, interim Head-of-State of Egypt; Commander-in-Chief of the Egyptian Armed Forces; Minister of Defense and Military Production


Defense & Foreign Affairs publications have been around throughout most of my political career and have provided discreet, professional analysis on the major strategic debates of our time…In recent years, your contribution to debates on the Balkans conflict, events in China and Korea, and so on, have provided unique counter-points to some of the “conventional wisdom”. The result has been to create a more broadly-based perspective on issues vital to our national security…I do not believe that the publication could have lasted so long as a paid-circulation professional journal if it had not delivered the kind of stimulus to your international audience as it has to those of us on Capitol Hill.”

- Hon. Bill McCollum, Member of Congress; member of the National Security Committee.


Defense & Foreign Affairs Strategic Policy is the only publication which has consistently analyzed the largest war currently in the world, the civil wars of Ethiopia, in unbiased detail and with full context. I, and many others, rely on this impartial and unique analysis.”

- His Imperial Highness Prince Ermias Sahle-Selassie Haile-Selassie, President of the Crown Council of Ethiopia.


“With Defense & Foreign Affairs, one does not speak of cost per thousand [in terms of advertising rates], but cost per king or decision-maker.”

- The New York Times, advertising column


“I became aware of Defense & Foreign Affairs in 1982, in the middle of my military and national security service. Ever since, it has become essential reading for me…Defense & Foreign Affairs has always been unique in its assiduous and impartial attention to African strategic affairs, so often ignored or undervalued in international publications or even in the analysis of many governments. During my tenures as National Security Advisor to the Presidents of Nigeria, as Defence Minister, as Chief of Staff of the Nigerian Army, Defense & Foreign Affairs pointed out – as no other publication did – the significant and ongoing strength of Nigerian (and African) contributions to world peacekeeping efforts…It is important for Africa that Defense & Foreign Affairs continues to provide its impartial analysis and unique grand strategy perspective for the upcoming generation of military and political leaders.”

- Lt.-Gen. (rtd.) Aliyu Mohammed Gusau, Nigerian Statesman, currently Chair of the Gusau Institute, Kaduna, a leading African strategic and policy affairs institution.

- New York Times best-selling author and strategist Yossef Bodansky


Defense & Foreign Affairs’ “professional, profound, and independent coverage of a wide range of global politics and the role and place of the Kyrgyz Republic in a modern world of dynamic transformations is very valuable to me”.

- His Excellency Askar Akaev, former President of the Kyrgyz Republic


Defense & Foreign Affairs “…has been an invaluable source of intelligence. The thoroughness with which you have reported the affairs of state which do not necessarily ring bells in day-to-day media headlines…has been a valuable policy tool. As someone who can claim to be the last Cold War Defence Minister of Australia, I have always found your publication very valuable.”

- Hon. Kim C. Beazley, former Defence Minister of Australia and former leader of the Australian Labor Party


“Copley is one of America’s foremost strategists.”

- Edwin J. Fuelner, PhD, Founder and former President, The Heritage Foundation, Washington, DC

- Hon. Jim Saxton, then-Member of [US] Congress and Member of the National Security Committee


“This oldest international defense magazine in the world is attracting all top-level people from all the continents, as it deals with defense topics and foreign affairs in the context of overall strategic policy environment. I am confident that during the coming years, Defense & Foreign Affairs will offer more and more unique issues…as we enter a new, pivotal phase in the evolutionary process of the world.”

- Gen. Salah Halaby, Chairman, Arab Organization for Industrialization, and former Chief of Staff of the Egyptian Armed Forces.


“For the past 54 years, Defense & Foreign Affairs has published decisive, comprehensive, and contextual intelligence on critical world issues, sometime months if not years, before the popular press understands what is going on. Whether it is Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, or even Ethiopia or Australia, Defense & Foreign Affairs is always first and with greater depth.”

- Dr Paul Scully-Power, AM, Australia's first astronaut and a key technical advisor to the Australian Defence Force leadership.


Praise for Strategic Policy Editor Emeritus Gregory Copley's The New Total War:

"A must-read for those entrusted with national defense. It will change the way we think about defense budgets, strategies, decision-making, and operations.”

- Dr Robert Wood, Emeritus Dean and Nimitz Chair, Center for Naval Warfare Studies, US Naval War College


"This excellent analysis increases awareness of the total war in which democracies are involved.”

- Rt. Hon. Sir Geoffrey Pattie, former UK Minister of Defence


"Those who are leaders or who aspire to leadership must read Gregory Copley's new book, Total War in the 21st Century. Trends like information dominance, depopulation, globalist versus nationalist competition and weaponized fear create a platform for decision-making that looks nothing like the experiences of the past. Two decades into this century everything consequential has changed and Copley captures that reality in a most inspiring way."

- Former US Congressman Hon. Bob Walker, CEO, MoonWalker Associates; Former Chairman of House Science Committee; NASA Distinguished Service Medal Recipient
