Book Information

Weapons expert Colonel John Alexander details the ad-vanced systems that will be employed in the coming years and how they will change the outcome of military operations. These weapons include non-lethal armaments such as tacti-cal lasers that zap targets twenty kilometers away, a pulsed energy projectile called 'Phasers on Stun,' and the 'Area Denial System,' a wave weapon that instantly evokes pain. At the other end of the force spectrum are hyper-lethal systems like thermobaric weapons-the cave busters of Afghanistan. Via realistic scenarios, Winning the War will provide readers an insider's view on how these futuristic weapons will be used amid the complexities of modern warfare.
