Are We Really Ready for an RMA? Campaigning Under the U.N. Banner. The Pacific Century and Future Causes of War. (Book Reviews)

Abstract

As the debate over whether a revolution in military affairs is emerging in the United States continues, a relevant book has appeared. Military Innovation in the Interwar Period presents seven case studies on how new forms of warfare developed between the two World Wars. It also offers three chapters on the problems of radically changing the ways in which armed forces fight. Each case examines how three different militaries advanced warmaking developments that greatly determined the course and outcome of World War II: armored warfare, amphibious operations, strategic bombing, close air support, carrier aviation, improved submarine warfare, and radar. Article also includes book reviews of The Evolution of U.N. Peacekeeping, edited by William Dutch, and Pacific Defense: Arms, Energy, and America's Future in Asia, by Kent Calder.
