Description
Are we plunging into a decade of bloody wan Can they be prevented: In this highly original new book, Alvin and Heidi Toffler two of the world's leading social thinkers and futures, train these sights on a subject that has haunted humanity since history began war and peace Their premise is that the way we make wealth is the way we make war that today's revolutionary changes in business are being mirrored in the world's armies and the future of war itself. What is needed, they say, is a parallel revolution in the way we make peace.
War and Anti-War describes how the US military went from drug-drenched defeat and demoralization in Vietnam to high performance in the Gulf-a story with lessons for many businesses today as they, too, restructure in preparation for the twenty-first century.
When America is groping for new strategies, when its defense industries are in crisis, and when peacemakers are being outsmarted and outgunned around the world, this book tells us why we seem bent on violence- and what to do about it.
The forms of war, the Tofflers tell us, have changed throughout history: the agrarian age gave us the hoe and the sword, the industrial age gave us mass production and mass destruction.
