{"product_id":"9781316141328","title":"The Iraq Wars and America's Military Revolution","description":"Many saw the United States' decisive victory in Desert Storm (1991) as not only vindication of American defense policy since Vietnam but also confirmation of a revolution in military affairs (RMA). Just as information-age technologies were revolutionizing civilian life, the Gulf War appeared to reflect similarly profound changes in warfare. 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. Focusing on the creation of a reconnaissance-strike complex and conceptions of parallel or nonlinear warfare, Keith L. Shimko finds a persuasive case for a contemporary RMA while recognizing its limitations as well as promise.","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47104482312432,"sku":"9781316141328","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781316141328_p0.jpg?v=1763706716","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781316141328","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
