Book excerpt: In this volume, Professor Colin Gray develops and applies the theory and scholarship on the allegedly historical practice of the 'Revolution in Military Affairs' (RMA), in order to improve our comprehension of how and why strategy 'works'. The author explores the RMA hypothesis both theoretically and historically. The book argues that the conduct of an RMA has to be examined as a form of strategic behaviour, which means that, of necessity, it must "work" as strategy works. The great RMA debate of the 1990s is reviewed empathetically, though sceptically, by the author, with every major school of thought allowed its day in court. The author presents three historical RMAs as case studies for his argument: those arguably revealed in the wars of the French Revolution and Napoleon; in World War I; and in the nuclear age. The focus of his analysis is how these grand RMAs functioned strategically. The conclusions that he draws from these empirical exercises are then applied to help us understand what, indeed, is - and what is not - happening with the much vaunted information-technology-led RMA of today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David, a high-level government employee and Christian, is busy planning his wedding to his devout fiancee, Maria. But in the middle of the night, David is surprised by orders that send him racing to the Middle East on a secret mission for the State Department. Once there, he discovers a complex series of clues that can only mean one thing: a conspiracy so vast it could spell the end of American civilization. Soon David, Maria, and David's identical twin and mother are drawn into a breathless race to save their homeland-a homeland that's held hostage by terrifying forces. The Chaos Strategy explores Biblical prophecy and the clash of civilizations, asking readers to face some tough questions: Is there a strategic plan to bring about the end of days? If so, is there anything we can do to prevent it? For fans of Christian prophetic fiction such as the Left Behind series, The Chaos Strategy will keep readers on the edge of their seats as it hurtles toward a thrilling, thought-provoking conclusion.
