Working Paper No. 54
- August 1999
In seeking to avoid a potentially protracted ground campaign with its attendant risks and casualties, NATO imposed its will from the air. Has NATO's campaign been a landmark in the history of war? What does it mean for the future of warfare? What are the implications for land forces? These and other issues are addressed in this highly topical collection based on papers delivered at an Australian Defence Studies Centre seminar.
This working paper brings together the expertise of three defence scholars, presenting their views on the problems and prospects of the use of military force exposed by the war in Kosovo.
