Product Information

This book challenges the prevailing sentiment regarding the nature of war. Designed to generate discussion on topics where little or ne has been acceptable, it pushes the envelope of traditional political and military science thinking. It argues that the nature of war has changed at a fundamental level-that of definition. Further, information techlogy is so pervasive and interpenetrating that its impact cant be relegated to mere alteration in the techniques by which war is prosecuted. Rather, information techlogy facilitates new social structures, exacerbates competing hierarchical beliefs, and, combined with other factors, enhances the ability of powerful nations, or other philosophical organizations, to impose their will on adversaries. It is this ability for imposition of will, t the level of violence inflicted, that will determine whether or t a conflict has been won or lost. Other sacred cows are gored in this book by stating: >The nation-state is a failing concept with limited utility and great liability >Boundaries, once thought to be absolute, are in reality arbitrary >Ideology, t materialism, motivates many people and therefore sources of conflict and terrorism cant be eliminated solely by reducing poverty >Personal allegiance(s) will longer be assured >Violence, while it will remain prominent, will be optional in future conflicts
