Career[]
Zenko worked at Harvard University's Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs from 2003 to 2008,[2] first as a research assistant to Graham T. Allison from 2003 to 2006, and a research associate on the Project on Managing The Atom from 2006 to 2008.[3] He also worked at the Brookings Institution, the Congressional Research Service, and United States Department of State’s Office of Policy Planning.[2] He is a Senior Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations.[2] He has published articles in The Atlantic,[4] The Guardian,[5] Foreign Policy,[6] and Business Insider.[7]
Zenko has authored two books. His first book, Between Threats and War: U.S. Discrete Military Operations in the Post-Cold War World, was published in 2010. In a review for the Journal of Peace Research, Mark Naftalin criticized Zenko for leaving out an "analysis and contextualization of concepts, threats and legal and technological frameworks", adding that there was a "lack of rigorous detail in each of the author's policy recommendations."[8] Zenko's second book, Red Team: How to Succeed By Thinking Like the Enemy, was published in 2015. A review in The Washington Post, Carlos Lozada wrote that "Zenko offers a compelling argument for forcing ourselves to think differently, which is ultimately the main purpose of a red team."[9]
