Beyond Shock And Awe Warfare in the 21st Century

From one of the twelve founding members of Delta Force, a collection of commentary on the future of war. Media commentator Eric Haney-a founding member of Delta Force and author of "Inside Delta Force"-along with other noted military analysts and award-nominated editor Brian M. Thomsen, 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-"Beyond Shock and Awe" is a fresh, provocative look at America's army of the future. Articles include the work by Harlan K. Ullman and James P. Wade, Jr., which first used the term "shock and awe;" Kevin Dockery on the weapons of future wars; Professor William Forstchen on how precisionguided weaponry will eliminate "problem" individuals before they can start a war; Eugene Sullivan on such legal issues as pre-emptive attacks and military tribunals; Paul A. Thomsen on integrating military intelligence into strategic warfare; William Terdoslavich on how America's swift victory in the Iraq War gave way to a bloody stalemate; John Helfers on the importance of cultural knowledge in winning wars and building alliances; and Eric Haney on the many ways in which rapid dominance of an adversary can be gained through shock and awe.Haney, Eric is the author of 'Beyond Shock And Awe Warfare in the 21st Century', published 2006 under ISBN 9780425207987 and ISBN 0425207986.
