| Zusammenfassung: | "Admiral Bill Owens saw the challenges facing the U.S. military up close and strove to bring about change from inside the Pentagon. In this book, written with veteran military reporter Ed Offley, he explains the full extent of the crisis the U.S. military faces, and proposes a daring solution: the Revolution in Military Affairs." "Even if politicians and citizens were willing to commit trillions of dollars to new weaponry in peacetime, Owens thinks it would be foolish to do so. Rather, he argues, the military should take advantage of astonishing recent advances in computing, communications, and satellite surveillance to change the very nature of our military - from one based on force and might to one based on knowledge and information." "The Revolution in Military Affairs would transform the way the U.S. forces wage war. It would bring about a smaller yet stronger and more mobile U.S. military, able to defend U.S. interests overseas at a moment's notice. Meanwhile, through a worldwide satellite network, it would be able to observe the enemy's movements as they unfold - to lift the "fog of war" that has bedeviled strategists all through the history of warfare."--BOOK JACKET. |
