1.0 out of 5 stars
Not for the professional military analyst,
By A Customer
This review is from: Digital Soldiers: The Evolution of High-Tech Weaponry and Tomorrow's Brave New Battlefeld (Paperback)
I always look forward to new books on modern military affairs and I was excited when I saw James Dunnigan's DIGITAL SOLDIERS. However I was greatly disappointed by the book. The author's informal style of writing does not promote his professional credentials. Very few weapons systems are even mentioned, and the author jumps around all through the book from subject to subject. I would recommend Tom Clancy's series of non-fiction books such as SUBMARINE and FIGHTER WING. Jane's and Brassey's produce many excellent publications, although they are often very expensive.

A shotgun approach where a smart bomb is called for.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Digital Soldiers: The Evolution of High-Tech Weaponry and Tomorrow's Brave New Battlefeld (Paperback)
I anxiously awaited reading this book after coming across it. Unfortunately, the book jumps all over the place. Dunnigan spends a few pages on the history of a service, then a few more on the current reality, then about one page on the future. The author manages to refer to his past successes as a well known war gamer, and even details a project he did for the National Parks Service. I just wish this three year Army vet had gone into more detail on the future digital services........

Impact of technology on the Military weapons worldwide,
By A Customer
This review is from: Digital Soldiers: The Evolution of High-Tech Weaponry and Tomorrow's Brave New Battlefeld (Paperback)
Author makes it clear that term "digital" include all of the electronics technologies and not digital technology exclusively. James Dunnigan vividely explains the link between politicians' interests and the fate of our soldiers in the battlefields. Unbelievable but real details of India's and China's missile power explained in detail. You would be amazed (scared?) to know the quantity and power of long range missiles China possesses. I enjoyed reading this easy-to-read but informative book and believe that even science fiction fans would love it and realize that non-fiction raeding also can be fun. Author is fully qualified and knowledgeable, although I had some difficulty to accept that Gulf war was a good test ground for our new weapons. In a war against to a higher tech nation in a large and mountainous terrain the test data could vary.
