About this title

Synopsis:

Weapons expert Colonel John Alexander details the advanced systems that will be employed in the coming years and how they will change the outcome of military operations. These range from a wave weapon that instantly invokes pain to hyper-lethal systems like cave-busting thermobaric weapons.

About the Author:

Colonel John B. Alexander's extensive military experience includes commanding Green Berets in Vietnam as well as conducting research and development in advanced weapons. He developed the concept of Non-Lethal Defense at Los Alamos National Laboratory, and his work has brought him into contact with the Director of Central Intelligence and members of Congress, White House, and National Security Council staff. As NATO became interested, he served as a US representative on three international studies. He is currently the science director for a private research organization in Las Vegas and a consultant to CINC US Special Operations and is a member of the National Research Council Committee for Assessment of Non-Lethal Weapons Science and Technology.
