Tomorrow's Soldier:: The Warriors, Weapons, And Tactics That Will Win America's Wars In The Twenty-First Century

by David Alexander

When Tomorrow's War Erupts,
A New Kind Of Warrior Will Fight It.The twentieth century is ending in a revolution of bold new thought and stunning technological advancement -- and nowhere is this more prevalent that within the U.S. millitary. Weaponry unimaginary even a decade ago is already rolling off the assembly lines. Military strategists view the entire world as one enormous battlefield, as they prepare our armed forces to strike swiftly and effectively anywhere on the planet. And Virtual Reality training -- once the exclusive domain of science fiction writes -- is being employed even as you read these words.

This astonishing book takes you into the hitherto secret world of tomorrow's warriors to reveal the true face and nature of the battles to come:


groundbreaking aircraft designs that are already working their way into America's airborne arsenal...

the Navy's plans to employ its revolutionary "Copernicus" program to create a networked, computerized attack force capable of reaching instanly to any event anywhere...

the flashpoints and trouble spots in tomorrow's world...

drones and robots that will play a high-profile role in the next century's war zone...

the new mechanized armor, warplanes, vessels at sea, and computer-linked, interactive front line ground forces...

the coming war in near-space -- where satellites will be the key targets


For tomorrow's soldiers, the future is already here.

About the author

David Alexander began writing early in life and began writing uncoaxed and spontaneously. His fledgling appearance in print dates to a sonnet published in a New York City daily newspaper when David was in elementary school in Brooklyn. Between then and today, he has written and published in virtually every literary category, including novels, novelettes, short fiction, poetry, essays and film scripts. He received his early education via the New York City public school system. He later attended Columbia University in New York City and Sorbonne University in Paris, France.

In addition to fiction and creative nonfiction, Alexander has written technical papers as a defense analyst for some of the world's most prestigious international defense publications on high-technology combat systems and their strategic and tactical applications. He is as conversant with the global corporate and civilian defense sector as he is with the military side. Few can justly claim the scope and breadth of his knowledge of and familiarity with the international defense community, ranging from weapon systems to global strategic policy.

As an author, Alexander can justly claim to have pulled himself up by his own bootstraps. Never has he benefited from anybody's patronage. There have been no wealthy relatives with connections, no connections by marriage; no favors traded in secret, no hooked-up friends to fast-track his career. Nor has anybody but David Alexander penned the titles published over David Alexander's byline. Alexander is a resident of Brooklyn Heights, where he has lived and written for many years.
