More about the book
Focusing on the conflict in Kosovo, the book examines the evolution of warfare into a new phase characterized by remote control operations. It contrasts traditional warfare, where nations mobilize and soldiers engage directly, with a modern approach where combat is conducted by pilots and programmers, often without formal declarations of war. The narrative highlights the blurred lines of victory and defeat, presenting a future where the public participates as a passive audience rather than active participants in the conflict.
