A consolidated defense industry presents challenges for American military policy, competitiveness and international peace and security. How can the costs of weapon development be kept in check? With fewer competitors, how can innovation be assured? Is a more internationally-oriented industry compatible with continued US dominance in leading edge weaponry? Can proliferation of sophisticated conventional weapons be avoided? This work documents the defense industrial changes of the post-Cold War decade - why they happened and what they portend. It concludes by offering three different visions of the future: a fortress US/fortress Europe standoff; a go-at-it-alone American security strategy supported by a transnational defense industry; and a co-operative security/conflict resolution oriented alliance, which would slow arms innovation and restrain the spread of conventional arms.

The man in charge of the bombing of Yugoslavia during the war in Kosovo proudly recounts his exploits as the NATO Supreme Allied Commander for Europe and offers advice for other military personnel on the proper conduct of massive air war. He justifies his targeting of civilian infrastructure by arguing that "laws of warfare were, strictly speaking, not fully applicable." Echoing generals throughout history, he criticizes the limitations that were put on NATO commanders by politicians.

In 1849, the Austrians launched explosive balloons against Venice, the first air attack on a city. In 1945, atomic bombs dropped from the B-29 Enola Gay destroyed Hiroshima. This highly readable book tells the dramatic story of the development of strategic bombing, not only from the military point of view but in all its ethical and international legal ramifications. Featuring many never-before-published photographs, the book covers all the outstanding events of a 160-year period: the first balloon ascent, in 1783; the aerial campaigns of both world wars; the development of American and European aircraft and air forces; theorists and prophets of air power in Europe and the United States, such as Giulio Douhet and Billy Mitchell; the rise and fall of the Luftwaffe; and efforts to control the spread of aerial warfare. Professor Kennett shows how the bombing of military targets gradually gave way to widespread attacking of civilian ones and chronicles the development and consequences of such strategies as precision bombing, area bombing, and morale bombing....

The Tank, Infantry, Mk I, Matilda I (A11) was a British infantry tank of the Second World War. It is not to be confused with the later model Tank, Infantry Mk II (A12), also known as the "Matilda II", which took over the "Matilda" name after the early part of the war, when the first Matilda was withdrawn from combat service. They were different designs and did not share components but did have some similar traits, because they were both designed to be infantry tanks, a type of tank that tended to sacrifice speed for increased armour protection.
