Features: John Alexander has written an important book on non-lethal weapons, which everyone interested in future warfare should read. — Anthony Zinni, US Marine Corps General, Commander of the US Central Command. John Alexander's work is a truly well-thought-out achievement on the challenging topic of non-lethal weapons and their application in modern warfare. — William A. Owens, former Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, retired Navy Admiral. War is terrible, especially for the soldiers who charge into battle; they hate war. But war is inevitable. So, how can war achieve the goal of peace without causing casualties, especially among innocent civilians? The author, Colonel John Alexander, a US veteran, combines his years of research on non-lethal weapons with past typical battles and his hypothetical future warfare to show readers a different form of war—one with no lethal casualties, which certainly offers a fresh perspective. Whether you believe it or not, this is the future model of warfare. The book is divided into four parts and twenty chapters, covering the development origins of non-lethal weapons, the types and technologies of non-lethal weapons, hypothetical battles using non-lethal weapons, and related issues triggered by non-lethal weapons. It provides a comprehensive and vivid account of future warfare that utilizes non-lethal weapons. Target Audience: Military officers at the platoon level and above, faculty and students of military academies, and military enthusiasts.
