| Summary |
Media commentator Haney, a founding member of Delta Force, along with other noted military analysts, examines how our military must evolve to face changing times, technology, and adversaries. From limited wars to possible large scale invasions of Syria or Iran--or a major military stand-down with North Korea--this book is a look at America's army of the future. Includes articles on the weapons of future wars; such legal issues as pre-emptive attacks and military tribunals; military intelligence and how to eliminate "problem" individuals before they can start a war; and the importance of cultural knowledge in winning wars and building alliances.--From publisher description. |
