The subject of this timely book is that body of fiction which
speculates in narrative form about the nature of wars likely to
break out in the near or distant future. Although earlier instances
occur, the origins of this mode lie primarily in the late
nineteenth century but writing about future wars continues to this
day with notable fiction on the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Ranging widely across periods and conflicts real and imagined, and
boasting contributions from the late I. F. Clarke, H. Bruce
Franklin and Patrick Parrinder, Future Wars explores the
fascinating process of interaction between politics and literature,
science fiction and war in a range of classic texts. Individual
essays explore Reagan's 'star wars' project, nuclear fiction,
Martian invasion, and the Pax Americana among other topics. The use
of future war scenarios in military planning dates back to the
nineteenth century. Future Wars concludes with an assessment by an
officer in the U.S. Army of the continuing usefulness of future
wars fiction.
