From 1973 to the 2003 liberation of Iraq, American military thought
and defense planning was transformed. "US Military Innovation and
Strategy after Vietnam" presents the reader with a clear overview
and assessment of this Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA).
Robert Tomes skillfully details this thirty-year process that began
in the aftermath of Vietnam, matured in the 1980s as Pentagon
planners sought an integrated nuclear-conventional deterrent, and
culminated with battles fought during sandstorms on the road to
Baghdad in 2004. He distills the key historical, conceptual, and
doctrinal factors central to the evolution of US defense policy and
military thought during the last three decades. In doing so, Tomes
explores the widespread perception that advanced US war fighting
capabilities became suddenly available in the early 1990s, a
perception that skewed defense policy discourse at a time when a
more balanced understanding of historical factors was sorely
needed.
In addition, the reader is presented with a wide range of
invaluable insights into innovation phenomena and a clear
understanding of the origins and core elements of recent US
advances in areas such as battlefield surveillance and
reconnaissance, long-range precision strike, stealth technology,
and end-to-end information and knowledge capabilities.
This book will be of great interest to all students of the US
military, military history and of military and strategic studies in
general.
