<br/><br/> This book expands on a symposium entitled 'debating fourth generation warfare' published in the journal Contemporary Security Studies, August 2005. Contributors here include Thomas Hammes, Edward Luttwak, Lawrence Freedman, James Wirtz. 4GW in essence is the ability of small numbers of highly adaptive forces to exploit opportunities offered by political, social, cultural, and technological change and in doing so they can equal the conventional might of great powers. This is the reality of asymmetric conflict in which appropriate strategy must be developed.
