Review title: two different books
Product review: This book offers up a non-detailed summary of weapons systems that are being contemplated and tested for the next round of wars. Most of it is obvious from reading Popular Mechanics. The author attempts to write up possible scenarios as to how such weapons might be used in an imagined confrontation in the near future. Sadly he also comments on political and ethical considerations in the last part of the book that that sound like the ravings of a lunatic. ( For example: In an effort to stem the tide of murders in the Middle East the author recommends that we do as the Russians and target the families of suicide bombers, hack up their bodies and send the parts to their relatives. Apparently it worked. If you like hearing this sort of thing as a serious policy proposal coming from a high ranking American military officer then you might like the book.) It makes you wonder what a lifetime of service in the military actually does to your mind.
