Publisher's Synopsis
"The Defense Revolution" is a comprehensive blueprint for America's military in this post-Cold War era. It is generally recognized that the USA needs to cut its military forces in the coming years, and this work outlines how these cuts can be made thoughtfully and wisely.;The authors examine three "paradigm shifts" in the world that favour the United States; simultaneous revolutions in geopolitics, economics, and technology. They show how America can exploit itsadvantage in these areas - especially in technology, which proved decisive in the Persian Gulf War.
