Specificatii
A monumental, groundbreaking work, now in paperback, that shows how
technological and strategic revolutions have transformed the
battlefield Combining gripping narrative history with wide-ranging
analysis, War Made New focuses on four ?revolutions? in military
affairs and describes how inventions ranging from gunpowder to
GPS-guided air strikes have remade the field of battle?and shaped
the rise and fall of empires. War Made New begins with the
Gunpowder Revolution and explains warfare's evolution from
ritualistic, drawn-out engagements to much deadlier events,
precipitating the rise of the modern nation-state. He next explores
the triumph of steel and steam during the Industrial Revolution,
showing how it powered the spread of European colonial empires.
Moving into the twentieth century and the Second Industrial
Revolution, Boot examines three critical clashes of World War II to
illustrate how new technology such as the tank, radio, and airplane
ushered in terrifying new forms of warfare and the rise of
centralized, and even totalitarian, world powers. Finally, Boot
focuses on the Gulf War, the invasion of Afghanistan, and the Iraq
War?arguing that even as cutting-edge technologies have made
America the greatest military power in world history, advanced
communications systems have allowed decentralized, ?irregular?
forces to become an increasingly significant threat.
