A military advisor presents a history of weapons from ancient history to the present and posits that the Pentagon's present preoccupation with high-tech weapons is weakening America's military might.

This wide-ranging book looks at everything from the modern infantry's camping gear to defense industry marketing schemes, but never strays far from its central focus on cutting-edge warfare. Despite all the impressive advantages these gadgets offer, the fight still comes down to the level of the individual soldier, according to James Dunnigan (a Gulf War analyst for NBC). Nothing can replace training and discipline. On the battlefields of the next century, only high-quality troops will be able to keep their high-tech weapons in a proper state of repair, let alone know how to use them.
James F. Dunnigan is an adviser and lecturer to the State Department, Army War College, National Defense University, Naval Post Graduate School, CIA, MORS, and many other institutions.
