Review: Stevo's Book Reviews - September 1, 2018

This book is a comprehensive study relating to the field of military communications with its specific focus on military communications in the future battlefield. As such, this book serves as a thorough handbook, and since all the substance matters discussed in the running text are given their fair share of attention, the end-product adds up to more than the sum of its subsections. Overall, this book makes a highly recommendable read, and on the basis of its thorough coverage and discussion concerning the topic, it would also well double as a set course book in the field of military communications. Its prospective readers are bound to be fully engaged by Chapter 2 with its focus on scenario-based capability planning the context of command and control.
