Publisher's Notes
From Jane's, the recognized authority on military hardware throughout the world, comes an incomparable resource that presents an exciting and thorough look at the world's jet fighters and the battles they have fought. Fighter Combat in the Jet Age covers the entire history of jet fighters in action, from the end of World War II to the present. Meticulously detailed, it features 300 photos, line drawings, and graphs that reveal how jet fighters and their weapons have developed and improved, utterly changing the face of air combat. It also focuses on the key technological developments of the Cold War such as the fighters built to intercept nuclear bombers and to dominate European skies in a Third World War. With combat examples from Southeast Asia, the Falklands, and the Middle East, Fighter Combat in the Jet Age compares and contrasts the fighter aircraft of different nations and manufacturers. Also included are spreads with sidebars and boxes describing fighter tactics, major air battles, experimental weapons, and famous pilots. It's enough to thrill aircraft enthusiasts of all ages.

Private Warriors
by Ken Silverstein
Widely-researched and fast-paced, Private Warriors surveys the generals, gun-runners and national security staffers who were cast adrift at the end of the Cold War and who now operate in the private sector. In these pages we encounter Ernst Werner Glatt, a right-wing German who was for many years the Pentagon's preferred gun-runner; ex-Secretary of State Alexander Haig who now lobbies for China and assists in selling weapons to Turkey; and Frank Gaffney, an ex-Pentagon official who has grown rich by promoting the biggest boondoggle of them all, Star Wars. Today's private warriors have a direct financial interest in war and the connections to push for the maintenance of bloated military budgets.
Rifles & Combat Shotguns
by J. Norris
The infantryman's best friend is his personal weapon -- his rifle. Today's assault rifles, however, are worlds apart from the bulky single shot weapons of the First and Second World Wars. The modern assault rifle is light, fast-handling, and able to unleash a hail of automatic fire at the touch of its trigger. This book looks at the range of high-tech infantry rifles available to today's armies -- their design, development, and capabilities -- as well as specialist sniper rifles, combat shotguns, and other shoulder-fired weapons.
