Trade Review
"Written by national security consultant Thomas K. Adams, a veteran of thirty-four years of military service primarily in intelligence and special operations, The Army After Next: The First Post-Industrial Army is an in-depth examination of how the US Army and the Department of Defense have tried to hone the capabilities promised by the ongoing high-tech 'revolution in military affairs' A sobering, critical wake-up call, accessible to readers of all backgrounds but especially recommended reading for career military officers and strategists." -- The Midwest Book Review
"The Army after Next is spot on and Tom Adams is something of a prophet....a well-documented, well-reasoned, and well-written piece of work by a highly experienced practitioner. This book should be mandatory reading for citizens as well as decision-policy-and opinion makers. At base, The Army after Next deals with the issue of security—our security. Too few of us have paid much attention. Pay attention now." -- Parameters
