From the Publisher:Book Introduction: The fight for the future makes daily headlines. Its battlesare not between the armies of leading states, nor are its weapons the large,expensive tanks, planes and fleets of regular armed forces. Rather, thecombatants come from bomb-making terrorist groups like Osama bin Laden'sal-Qaeda, drug smuggling cartels like those in Colombia and Mexico, and militantanarchists like the Black Bloc that ran amok during the Battle of Seattle.Other protagonists are civil-society activists fighting for democracy and humanrights-from Burma to the Balkans. What all have incommon is that they operate in small, dispersed units that can deployniimbly-anywhere, anytime. They know how to penetrate and disrupt, as well aselude and evade. All feature network forms of organization, doctrine, strategy,and technology attuned to the information age. And, from the Intifadah to thedrug war, they are proving very hard to beat; some may actually be winning.This is the story we have to tell.Author Bios: DAVID F.
