First sentence: By a wide margin, the idea of a revolution in military affairs (RMA) was the concept-of-the-decade among Western strategic thinkers in the 1990s.1
Description: "In Strategy for Chaos, Professor Colin Gray develops and applies the theory and scholarship on the allegedly historical practice of the 'Revolution in Military Affairs' (RMA), in order to improve our comprehension of how and why strategy 'works'." "This is a brilliantly researched and thought-provoking book by one of the key thinkers in the field, and will be essential reading for all scholars of military history, strategic studies and political science."--Jacket.
