now a part of history
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
The world has changed considerably since this book came out 20 years ago. And today's command and control technolgy and the military force that it directs is quite different. But Blair's book represents a detailed snapshot of command and control solutions in 1985 and the considerations that led to them. A simple but typical example is how the Soviet introduction of SLBMs impacted the planning for a survivable National Command Authority. The cold war is over and this book as a contemporary overview is obsolete. So are the situations and technologies it describes. But its value to history is obvious and undimished by time.
