Absolute Resolve: What the U.S. Strike on Venezuela Really Means

By Scott Marshall

In early January 2026, a sitting head of state was captured in his own capital by foreign forces and extracted abroad within hours. The operation was swift, precise, and unprecedented in modern Latin American history.

Absolute Resolve examines what the U.S. strike on Venezuela really means-not just for Caracas, but for global power politics. Far from a conventional intervention, the operation combined intelligence dominance, air power, legal authority, and economic leverage into a single, compressed act of coercion.

This book provides a clear and accessible analysis of how the operation was planned, executed, and justified, placing it within the broader context of U.S.-Venezuela relations, great-power competition, and the evolving nature of modern warfare. It explores the strategic logic behind the operation, the military capabilities involved, and the wider implications for sovereignty, deterrence, and energy geopolitics.

Written for readers seeking to understand contemporary conflict beyond headlines, Absolute Resolve offers a concise but rigorous case study of how power is exercised in the twenty-first century-and why this operation marks a turning point in the Western Hemisphere.
