An anthology of futuristic warfare, and its immediate aftermath. Some are better than others.

This book was published 30 years ago (Mar '88) and some of the stories and articles are older than that. It is surprising to see just how accurate a few of the predictions were (satellites and communication) and just how wrong so many of them were on politics (no one predicted the USSR's collapse in just three years). If you have any interest in military fiction, history, or science fiction, you should find a copy. It is time well spent. Find it! Read it!

This was an earlier "future at war" series than Pournelle's "There Will Be War." This was probably a precursor to it and an influence on that later series. It was also very good, although I've only been able to find two of the books in the series. I need to get the second volume. Good stuff by Anderson, Heinlein and many others. Recommended.

I have the first Ace printing August 1979, with cover art that does not match what Goodreads shows for the matching ISBN.
