FIRST TIME IN PAPERBACK-A founding Delta Force member's anthology on the future of war. Media commentator Eric L. Haney-one of twelve founding Delta Force members and author of Inside Delta Force-along with other outstanding military analysts and award-nominated editor Brian M. Thomsen, examines our evolving military in the face of changing times, technology, and adversaries. From possible invasions of Syria or Iran-or a major military stand-down with North Korea-Beyond Shock and Awe is a provocative vision of America's military of the future. Included are articles by Harlan K. Ullman and James P. Wade, Jr., who first used the term "shock and awe"; Professor William Forstchen on how precision guided weaponry will eliminate "problem" individuals before war can begin; Eugene Sullivan on the legality of preemptive attacks; William Terdoslavich on how America's swift victory in Iraq turned into a bloody stalemate; John Helfers on how cultural knowledge helps win wars and build alliances; and Eric Haney on gaining Rapid Dominance of adversaries through shock and awe.
