Summary: A Real Battle to Finish
Comment: This is a book about strategy and war fighting in the midst of what is being called a revolution in military affairs as the world moves into the twenty-first century. The authors covered topics such as military operations against a NBC-arming sponsor of terrorism, the use of missiles against military and civilian targets and a full view of weapons of mass destruction. Overall not the lightest of topics. The authors are either professional military officers or civilian professionals who specialize in national security issues. The author's backgrounds and the topics discussed made the book far from an easy read. It was dry and at times rather dense. With this said the authors did come off as experts in their fields and the chapters they covered were complete and well thought out.

I thought the book's main purpose was to focus attention on the operational, strategy, and threat challenges that will confront US national security decision-makers as they face some of the battlefield of the future. At least this is what the forward told me what was going to be covered. The author's did cover these items and from what I know, they did a good job. It was just that the book was a bit dry. I thought the book was something really written for professional military types, not the average reader who is interested in the military. If you are looking for something to give you the highlights this may not be the book for you.
