War in a Time of Peace

Through a deep analysis of the War in the Gulf, and through studies of operations in Haiti, Somalia, and Bosnia, Halberstam examines new ways of waging war following the fall of Communism. He addresses the issues of civilian control of the military and whether politics threatens to interfere with military goals, and he explains the new technologies of war, especially America's dominance in the air.
