He lectures regularly at Military Staff Colleges around the world. Most commentators propose a nightmare vision of future warfare: a battlefield of drones and robots with no place for human intuition or will. In this book, Professor Christopher Coker presents a new and radically different view. New technology will free the warrior from the mass slaughterhouse of twentieth-century warfare, and soldiers will once again find their humanity on the field of battle.","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47990235529445,"sku":"NP9781405120425","price":139.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781405120425.jpg?v=1761787017","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/the-future-of-war-isbn-9781405120425","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
