FORCES 90

Marshall Cavendish 1989.

Forces 90 marks the dawning of a new era in military technology by unveiling a new generation of Stealth machines. With the emergence of the Far-Eastern powers on to the higher economic and military plain, Forces ’90 assesses the Pacific Basin – home territory to both the USA and the USSR. As the dust settles on the Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan, we look at the similarities with Vietnam and ask some searching questions. The Fast Patrol Boat – flagship of the world’s poor navies – is reviewed in depth. Together with chapters on the Royal Artillery, aerial reconnaissance and training the West’s officer elites, these are the special features of Forces 90.

Eight chapters, 142 pages, including a nice 15 page chapter on the Royal Artillery.

Apart from a light and superficial ‘L’ shaped scar, 5 x 2cm? on the rear of the dust jacket, both the book and the dust jacket are in very good condition.
