Title: Brilliant
Review: This book is a brilliant analyziz of 21st Century warfare. The argument that Hitler conceived shock and awe has no merit. De Gaulle, not Hitler, conceived the idea of lightning war. The concept was based on the military technology available in the mide 20th Century. By contrast, the shock and awe concept is based on military technology available in the 21st Century. The concepts are compleyely different. The argument that shock and awe is "fascist" also has no merit. Fascism is a political system, not a military strategy. Unlike fascism, the purpose of shock and awe is to decapitate dictatorial regime, cause minimum collateral damage to noncombatants. and install a democratic regime.
