Total copies: 3
¿́¿This book examines how the 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 ¿́¿ Beyond Shock and Awe is a fresh, provocative look at America¿́¿s military of the future. While not a book solely about military technology, there are thought provoking pieces on the weapons of future wars, elimination of ¿́¿problem¿́¿ individuals by precision-guided weaponry before they can start a war; and the many ways in which rapid dominance of an adversary can be gained through shock and awe.¿́¿ -- SAF Professional Reading Programme, 4th Edition ¿́¿ STAGE III: MAJ 2 to LTC 1.
