In a world where missiles may never launch but the battle rages on, The Invisible War takes readers behind the curtain of the global contest between Israel and Iran — a confrontation fought not with armies, but with ideas, algorithms, alliances, and strategic imagination.

This compelling work of nonfiction reveals how two rival states are reshaping modern conflict by mastering influence rather than brute force. From innovation hubs and diaspora lobbying to media narratives and cyber frontlines, Israel and Iran are redrawing the rules of engagement. The book examines how these nations project power across continents through technology, religion, diplomacy, and disinformation — all while avoiding direct warfare. It also explores how other players, from the Global South to Western think tanks, are drawn into this evolving chess game.

Author Connor A. Anderson provides a rigorous yet readable guide through a landscape of invisible battlegrounds, where sanctions act like bombs and narrative control is more potent than missiles. Grounded in real-world analysis, the book is essential reading for those seeking to understand the future of power in a multipolar, post-military age.

Ideal for readers of international affairs, geopolitical strategy, and global security, The Invisible War challenges outdated assumptions and reveals what conflict looks like when the guns go silent — but the war never really ends.
