"The nature of warfare has changed.
Future War
describes the reality of conflicts that are already beginning to take place,
both in foreign lands and in our cities. Terrorism has established a a firm
foothold worldwide....
The traditional threats remain. But new, shadowy, and mercurial adversaries
are emerging....
Non-letahl weapons are a pragmatic application of force, not a peace movement,
ranging from old rubber bullets and tear gas to exotic advanced systems
that can paralyze a country, they are essentila for the preservation of
peace and stability.
Future War
explains exactly how non-lethal electromagnetic and pulsed-power weapons,
the laser and tazer, chameical systems, computer viruses, ultrasound and
infrasound, and even biological entities will be used to stop enemies.
These are the weapons of the future."
