Many saw the United States' decisive victory in Desert Storm (1991) as not only vindication of American defense policy since Vietnam but also confirmation of a revolution in military affairs (RMA).Just as information-age technologies were revolutionizing civilian life, the Gulf War appeared to reflect similarly profound changes in warfare.A debate has raged ever since about a contemporary RMA and its implications for American defense policy.Addressing these issues, The Iraq Wars and America's Military Revolution is a comprehensive study of the Iraq Wars in the context of the RMA debate.Focusing on the creation of a reconnaissance-strike complex and conceptions of parallel or nonlinear warfare, Keith L.Shimko finds a persuasive case for a contemporary RMA while recognizing its limitations as well as promise.
