Electronic warfare is the invisible contest behind modern conflict. Before aircraft disappear from radar, before missiles find their targets, and before networks collapse under attack, opposing forces fight for control of the electromagnetic spectrum. They listen, locate, jam, deceive, protect, and adapt. Electronic Warfare traces that struggle from the first radio interceptions and radar battles of World War II through the Cold War radar curtain, Project Palladium, U-2 reconnaissance, Soviet MiG exploitation, stealth development, the Bekaa Valley, Desert Storm, drones, cyberwarfare, space ...

The Second World Wars examines how combat unfolded in the air, at sea, and on land to show how distinct conflicts among disparate combatants coalesced into one interconnected global war. Drawing on 3,000 years of military history, Victor Davis Hanson argues that despite its novel industrial barbarity, neither the war's origins nor its geography were unusual. Nor was its ultimate outcome surprising. The Axis powers were well prepared to win limited border conflicts, but once they blundered into global war, they had no hope of victory.  

What happens when a Soviet fighter outlives the empire that created it? The Sukhoi Su-27 "Flanker" emerged from the Soviet Union as one of the most fearsome fighters of its generation—a long-range air superiority platform built to meet the American F-15 Eagle on equal terms. But the collapse of the USSR ensured that the Flanker's story would unfold far beyond the Cold War battlefields for which it had been designed. In Killbox Flanker, military historian Mike Guardia (author of Tomcat Fury and Viper Alley) traces the combat history of the Su-27 family from its Cold War origins to the ...

Phu Bai, 1967. Captain Holloway flies the Bird Dog low and slow over a jungle that wants to kill him — marking targets for the fast-movers, reading vehicle tracks in morning shadow, keeping a mission log that is supposed to be the truth. It almost always is. Almost. When a recon team goes silent in a valley that isn't supposed to hold what Holloway's rockets found, he has to choose between the report the system will accept and the one that will actually get his men out. What follows is not a battle so much as a paper trail — through an interpreter who reads intercepts more carefully ...

DRONEFALL A cheap drone. A hidden operator. A sudden strike. In Ukraine, war didn’t just change—it accelerated.

Drone DRONEFALL takes you inside the first full-scale drone war and explains—without jargon—how Ukraine’s FPV kill-chains rewrote modern warfare: how targets are found, fixed, and finished; how jammers and counter-jammers turned the air into a contested ocean; and why the “buzz in the dark” is ...
