Description

The world remains a dangerous place; war will be as much a part of its future as its past, argues Dupuy, author of excellent military histories. The fictional scenarios he chronicles are laid out with precision: first a recent history, then a hypothetical crisis (set in the mid-1990s), a tedious look at the composition of the opposing forces, and finally a dramatic, all-too-believable account of fantasy battles--a Russian civil war, several Middle East conflicts, Korea, Central America, and Transylvania. Dupuy's battlefields are derived from a 1965 computer-based mathematical combat model. His captivating writing makes up for the model's weaknesses in quantifying factors like surprise and mobility.
