The next war

In The Next War, former U.S. Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger and bestselling author Peter Schweizer dramatize the outbreak, progress, and outcome of major wars most likely to occur over the next dozen years. To predict the performance of U.S. forces - and the outcome for America and her allies - the authors use the latest and most authoritative assessments of our technological resources, troop preparedness, and deploymnet capabilities. Their protrayal of both American and foreign weapon systems reflects current trends and the findings of military research. The Next War does not purport to predict the future. Rather, it aims to lay bare the dangers that America and the world may soon face due to declining U.S. military readiness in the face of escalating world instability.
