About This Item
University Press of Kansas, 2001. Very Good/Unknown. Royal octavo, softcover, near fine in green pictorial wraps with yellow lettering. 12 photographs, 16 maps. For centuries, the world has witnessed the development and use of increasingly complex and powerful military systems and technologies. In the process, the "art of war" has truly become the art of combined arms warfare, in which infantry, artillery, air support, intelligence, and other key elements are all coordinated for maximum effect. --Desert Storm, the war in Chechnya, and the rise of "smart weapons" and related technologies; traces the evolution of tactics, weapons, and organization in five major militaries, American, British, German, Russian, and French, over 100 years of warfare., the development of special operations forces, advances in weapons technology-including ballistic and anti-ballistic missile systems-the trade-offs involved in using "heavy" versus "light" armed forces, and the enduring obstacles to effective cooperation between air and land forces. 364 pp. including index.
