Overview
World War 3.0, set in 2030, is a concise and thought-provoking exploration of airpower’s role in national policy and international relations. Through a series of vivid and fast-paced vignettes, it brings to life plausible crisis scenarios – many unfolding along NATO’s Northern Flank – and the difficult military and political choices them may demand. The book reminds us that understanding future warfare requires not only knowledge of the airpower profession, but also imagination and creative thinking. Equally important, it underscores the growing significance of the air and space domains for total defense in an age of cyber-attacks and increasing societal dependence on interconnected systems. Ultimately, it is a compelling reminder that preparing for war today is essential to avoiding human and material costs of tomorrow. Timely, insightful and highly relevant.
