A debate has raged ever since about a contemporary RMA and its implications for American defense policy. Addressing these issues, The Iraq Wars and America s Military Revolution is a comprehensive study of the Iraq Wars in the context of the RMA debate....

If true, this claim underscores the importance of another: that all this was possible only because of the...
