Many saw the United States' decisive victory in Desert Storm (1991)
as not only vindication of American defense policy since Vietnam
but also confirmation of a revolution in military affairs (RMA).
Just as information-age technologies were revolutionizing civilian
life, the Gulf War appeared to reflect similarly profound changes
in warfare. A debate has raged ever since about a contemporary RMA
and its implications for American defense policy. Addressing these
issues, The Iraq Wars and America's Military Revolution is a
comprehensive study of the Iraq Wars in the context of the RMA
debate. Focusing on the creation of a reconnaissance-strike complex
and conceptions of parallel or nonlinear warfare, Keith L. Shimko
finds a persuasive case for a contemporary RMA while recognizing
its limitations as well as promise.
