From the book jacket: In the 21st Century wars will be fought in radically different ways. this book is NOT about what might be.it is about strategies, tactics and technology that are already in place.

For the first time, these new methods of waging war will levelthe playing field between the new military superpowers and emerging nations. traditional warfare is a dying business. No political leader of any developed nation can commit the large numbers of conventional forces to a war, take the inevitable casualties and expect to survice. recognizing this new reality, the Pentagon, the intelligency community and other war planners are spending billions of dollars to perfect a different method of waging war - known as Information Warfare. IW (Information Warfare) is already being used in the war against organized crime, to steal economic secrets and to combat the rise of illegal drugs around the world.
