an Army corps commander in his field headquarters will have instant access to a live, three-dimensional image of the entire battlefield displayed on a computer screen, an image generated by a network of sensors, unmanned aerial vehicles, reconnaissance aircraft, and special operations soldiers on the ground. The commander will know the precise location and activity of enemy units--even those attempting to cloak their movements by operating at night, in poor weather, or hiding behind mountains or under trees. Yet Lifting the Fog of War is not merely high-tech happy talk. Owens is deeply concerned about US military readiness: "The military as we know it is in trouble," he writes. "The impending collapse of our military capability in the oncoming 'defence train wreck' must occupy centre stage in the 2000 presidential election". This book is at once an engaging review of recent military history, a gripping vision of what may come, and a compelling call to arms. --John J.Miller, Amazon.com --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

"Could well serve as a focal point in future discussions of U.S. security policies." -- Publishers Weekly
"Owens skillfully portrays the state of America's military and offers concrete steps to solve its problems." -- Maj Robert P. Mooney, Jr., Military Review
