The time is the near future... The Intifada, the Palestinian
revolt, intensifies throughout the West Bank and Gaza. Egypt breaks
diplomatic relations with Israel. The combined air forces of Saudi
Arabia, Syria, Jordan and Egypt invade the skies over Israel. The
sixth Arab-Israeli war has begun... South Korean student
protesters, marching to the demilitarized zone separating their
country from North Korea, are fired on by South Korean security
forces, resulting in nearly 1,000 casualties and worldwide cries of
protest. Wildly escalating tensions culminate in air and artillery
strikes by North Korea against the South that launch, in turn, the
second Korean War... The revolutionary Sandinista Front regains
power in Nicaragua in a bloodless coup. With a renewed offensive by
FMLN guerrillas in neighboring El Salvador, the Sandinistas
establish a supporting land supply link to the rebels by mounting
an offensive into Honduras. Once again, Central America is engulfed
in war... Russia's controversial prime minister is assassinated as
he addresses a special session of parliament. A resurgent KGB takes
power and declares martial law. Mutinies erupt in army and air
force units across the country ushering in the second Russian
Revolution... Today we witness a harsh paradox: after the
long-hoped-for end of the Cold War, concern for world security has,
if anything, dramatically increased. Now, in Future Wars, Col.
Trevor N. Dupuy one of America's foremost military analysts,
examines ten world hotspots where war might break out in the next
five years. With the assistance of a unique analytical tool
developed by the author, a computerized combat simulation used in
several defense ministries around theworld, Future Wars examines
the following possible global flashpoints, the third Gulf War, the
fourth India-Pakistan War, the Sandinista War, the war for
Transylvania, the Libya-Egypt War, the second Korean War, the
second war for Africa, the sixth Arab-Israeli War, the Russian
Civil War and the Sino-Russian border war. Written with the
authority of a top-ranked military analyst and the you-are-there
immediacy of the best techno-thriller fiction, Future Wars gives a
brief history of the region for each of these wars and describes
its probable course - including a review of each side's military
potential, a vividly detailed scenario of a typical engagement, and
a prediction of what the outcome most likely would be. An educated
speculation about what could happen and how, Future Wars may well
prove to be one of the most important books for the uncertain and
perilous years that lie ahead.
