From old rubber bullets and tear gas to exotic advanced systems that can paralyze a country, they are the weapons of the future. They will be used in peacekeeping operations and as strategic weapons. Future War provides critical information for everyone whom is concerned about their safety, or that of their loved ones. Non-lethal weapons are not a panacea. Complex issues are involved.
Traditional force is also necessary.
The future is uncertain and you need to know what preparations are taking place to ensure your future security. Future War is the first comprehensive book written by an expert in the field. John Alexander's concepts have appeared in Michael Crichton's The Lost World, Tom Clancy's Debt of Honor and other books. He participated in the landmark Council on Foreign Relations study of non-lethal weapons and chaired the first major conferences on the topic. Col. Alexander's extensive military experience includes commanding Green Berets in Vietnam and research and development of advanced weapons.
