Winning the Next War: Innovation and the Modern Military

Winner of the 1992 National Security Book Award, Winning the Next War provides a critical analysis of the process of military innovation. Relying on case studies, Rosen compares the efficiencies of innovation in wartime and peacetime, and the effect of technological advances on the need and pace of adaptation. Winning the Next War’s primary contribution, however, is its understanding of the innovation process and the identification of the factors that shape the direction of military change.
