Editorial Reviews

Review

“For all those who seek a deeper understanding of the contours of war, then this fine book should be required reading.”

From the Inside Flap

Most commentators propose a nightmare vision of future warfare: a battlefield of drones and robots with no place for human intuition or will. In this book, Professor Christopher Coker presents a new and radically different view. New technology will free the warrior from the mass slaughterhouse of twentieth-century warfare, and soldiers will once again find their humanity on the field of battle.
