Customer Reviews

A subject from today's headlines

I found this book to be an excellent and informal look at changing military technology. Always remember- military tech will cost more than you think. I have enjoyed every Dunnigan book I have read; he presents information clearly and concisely, with a generous leavening of humor. Highly recommended

Impact of technology on the Military weapons worldwide

Author makes it clear that term "digital" include all of the electronics technologies and not digital technology exclusively. James Dunnigan vividely explains the link between politicians' interests and the fate of our soldiers in the battlefields. Unbelievable but real details of India's and China's missile power explained in detail. You would be amazed (scared?) to know the quantity and power of long range missiles China possesses. I enjoyed reading this easy-to-read but informative book and believe that even science fiction fans would love it and realize that non-fiction raeding also can be fun. Author is fully qualified and knowledgeable, although I had some difficulty to accept that Gulf war was a good test ground for our new weapons. In a war against to a higher tech nation in a large and mountainous terrain the test data could vary.
