Beyond Shock and Awe

From one of the twelve founding members of Delta Force, a collection of commentary on the future of war. In Beyond Shock and Awe, media commentator Eric Haney—a founding member of Delta Force and author of Inside Delta Force—along with other noted military analysts and award-nominated editor Brian M.
