Excerpt from The New WarfareMr. Blanchon is at the same time an authority on every aspect of modern war, a cogent thinker with an extraordinary range of vision, and the attempt which he makes in this book, not only to expound the war that is but also to forecast the warfare of the future, is a contribution to present-day knowledge and speculation which far exceeds in importance the visions of Jules Verne, whose name he so modestly invokes.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
