Goodman, Allan E.

<p>Articulating a view that is increasingly common in the hallways of the Pentagon, if not in the streets of Baghdad or the mountains of the Afghan-Pakistan border region, Berkowitz (of the Hoover Institution at Stanford U.) argues that information technology has become the most important aspect of warfare and the deciding factor in military outcomes. Writing for a general audience, he explains how communication networks, global positioning satellites, rates-of-decision cycles, small special operations teams, and "cyberwar" are expected by some military thinkers to be important facets of military conflict in the present and near future.

In the fall of 1990, The Twentieth Century Fund convened a group of distinguished individuals to consider the future of covert action in American democracy. During the course of their deliberations, world events seemed to move at "fast forward." Just before the group met, the Berlin Wall came down; just after, the Soviet Union ceased to exist. Between these remarkable events, the cold war ended in a victory of the West. A second upheaval, the war in the Persian Gulf in 1991, raised profound questions about covert action and American foreign policy. The group responded to the challenge of changed circumstances with vigor and intelligence.As this new epoch of history has begun for world politics, American leaders are beginning to fashion new foreign policy in the absence of traditional truths. The United States needs new ideas fully equal to the enormous changes we have experienced in the past few years. This report meets that challenge by offering new assumptions for a new era in American Foreign
