Review title: Poorly written
Product review: The Pros:The author is a physicist, and so provides a solid analysis of the physical possibilities of tomorrow's wars.The cons:The author is a physicist, and can't write his way out of a paper bag.There is some interesting material in here, but the painful writing style makes it hardly worth the effort. Frequent digressions and asides (like this one!) make the text difficult to follow. Key points are skipped over while others that to me seem obvious are covered in excessive detail.Worse, I think, is that the analysis is just not very imaginative or insightful. The technological possibilities are explored adequately, but the political consequences of those possibilites are handled clumsily, if at all.I found this book frustrating. The author obviously knows his stuff, and I kept thinking "this SHOULD be interesting".But it's not.
