This book explores the most lethal conventional firepower available today and its future applications. As the Cold War fades, the threat of nuclear conflict diminishes, yet the likelihood of large-scale conventional warfare remains evident, particularly highlighted by recent events in Iraq. Warfare is expected to persist over the next decade, with potential conflicts emerging globally. The evolving weapons and technologies may significantly change the dynamics of battle. Key questions arise: How will wars be fought in various flashpoints, such as Mongolia, Hong Kong, and the Middle East? Will traditional tactics involving tanks and fighter bombers be replaced by advanced long-range indirect fire weapons and short-range directed energy systems? What is the true potential of chemical weapons? Additionally, how will military training adapt to new technologies and tactics, and how might soldiers' expectations affect weapon effectiveness? In scenarios where electronic communications are disrupted, what implications will that have? Featuring vivid color illustrations, this work examines the sophisticated arms and military hardware that define modern warfare, presenting a chilling look at the non-nuclear arsenal of destruction that shapes the future of conventional conflict.

Early in 1977 a retired NATO general called together six of his collegues--including an admiral, an airman, an economist and a diplomat--to write a dramatized game-plan for the next world war. A sensational international bestseller, it is a vivid, detailed, and often blood-curdling on-the-spot report from the battle fronts of a "real war", from tank assaults to air clashes to ICBM launchings, based on an insider's knowledge of weaponry and actual NATO and Soviet battle strategies. In the light of changes in Eastern Europe the question now is: Could it ever have happened? Could it ever happen again?
