An examination of how the information revolution is changing the way war is waged and conflicts pursued, featuring an introduction by futurists Alvin and Heidi Toffler. The editors' contributions suggest that the information revolution favors networks and small, non-state actors such as terrorists and criminals over rigid hierarchies such as professional militaries. They describe how this will place US military and police forces under growing pressures to formulate new concepts for organization, doctrine, strategy and tactics.
