Book Description
The United States has long been the leader in both military and technological power. But many of today's emerging technologies are in areas that many consider "level playing fields," a factor which may enable another nation to displace America's position at the top. Additionally, these technologies are often being driven by forces outside the defense establishments of the United States and other first-world nations. Can the United States adapt successfully to these changes?
