The Transformation of War by Martin van Creveld
After 11th September, it is abundantly clear that the mode of warfare prophesied in this book - published ten years ago by this well-known military historian - is here to stay and must be adjusted to, and speedily. A startling reassessment of the role of conventional armies, it forecasts the guerrillas, terrorists and bandits of today pursuing their goals with any weapon from the most primitive to the most sophisticated. A must for all newspaper readers. Riveting.
