About the Book
From two space warfare experts comes a blueprint for fighting—and winning—wars in the final frontier.
In The Battle Beyond, Paul Szymanski and Jerry Drew remind us that warfare is more than just a clash of weapons, but a competition between human minds. The same holds true for the battle in outer space. Space warfare will test the knowledge, experience, fears, beliefs, stamina, and will of civilians, military commanders, and political leadership like never before.
Szymanski and Drew guide the reader through a comprehensive consideration of the levels of warfare through the lens of experienced space warfare practitioners. Explaining esoteric disciplines like orbital warfare and electromagnetic operations in a way that will appeal to both novices and veterans, they expand upon the existing lexicon of war, instructing the reader on how to fight and win the coming battle beyond. Rich in symbolism, illustrations, and historical examples, this book comes at a critical time for the security of the United States and its Allies.
