In a world where these complex technologies clash with escalating international tensions, what can we do to decrease the chances of war? In \u003ci\u003eFuture Peace\u003c\/i\u003e, the eagerly awaited sequel to \u003ci\u003eFuture War\u003c\/i\u003e, Robert H. Latiff questions our overreliance on technology and examines the pressure-cooker scenario created by the growing animosity between the United States and its adversaries, our globally deployed and thinly stretched military, the capacity for advanced technology to catalyze violence, and the American public's lack of familiarity with these topics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFuture Peace\u003c\/i\u003e describes the many provocations to violence and how technologies are abetting those urges, and it explores what can be done to mitigate not only dangerous human behaviors but also dangerous technical behaviors. Latiff concludes that peace is possible but will require intense, cooperative efforts on the part of technologists, military leaders, diplomats, politicians, and citizens. \u003ci\u003eFuture Peace\u003c\/i\u003e amplifies some well-known ideas about how to address the issues, and provides far-, mid-, and short-term recommendations for actions that are necessary to reverse the apparent headlong rush into conflict. This compelling and timely book will captivate general readers, students, and scholars of global affairs, international security, arms control, and military ethics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eMajor General (Ret.)
