| Summary, etc. | The Violent ?American Century? addresses the U.S.-led transformations in war conduct and strategizing that followed 1945?beginning with brutal localized hostilities, proxy wars, and the nuclear terror of the Cold War, and ending with the asymmetrical conflicts of the present day. The military playbook now meshes brute force with a focus on non-state terrorism, counterinsurgency, clandestine operations, a vast web of overseas American military bases, and?most touted of all?a revolutionary new era of computerized ?precision? warfare. By contrast to World War II, postwar death and destruction has been comparatively small. By any other measure, it has been appalling?and shows no sign of abating. |
