Completely revised and updated to address changes that have taken place since 9/11, the second edition of this compelling collection takes a sophisticated look at the role of military power in the contemporary world.
In this essential resource, the authors analyze recent conflicts from Afghanistan to the Iraq War, considering the ongoing debates on the lessons that can be learned from these wars. In addition, they examine the controversy surrounding the recent revolution in military affairs--a transformation that has been brought about in response to the phenomenal pace of innovation in electronics and computer systems.
