The Military Revolution and Revolutions in Military Affairs updates
two central debates in military history--the one surrounding the
concept of military revolution, and the one on military
affairs--whilst advancing original research in both fields. Only a
handful of publications consider the military revolution and the
RMA in tandem. This book breaks new ground conceptually and appeals
to an exceptionally large and diverse readership. Comparative
revisionist studies of the military revolution and RMA better
enable us to comprehend the historical continuum and reveal the new
RMA for what it is. And for what it is shortly to become. This book
presents original contributions within the "epicentre" of the
military revolution debate, the 1500s, with an emphasis on
gunpowder revolution (offensively and defensively). The connections
with the Revolution in Military Affairs are then made explicit by
scholars, a practitioner, and an analyst, with an emphasis on
airborne lethal autonomous weapons systems. This is a
chronologically broad and unique methodological approach to a
historical debate that begs for clarification as we enter an era
where killer robots will almost certainly take from humans their
monopoly on violence.
