I originally did research and wrote a term paper but was officially told by the Air War College in 1986 that us worrying about military in the Middle East was unrealistic, we would never have involvement of US military forces in the Middle East and will never face a threat from them. I used the research from that paper to write this novel for a public warning that the time is near. While the characters are fiction, the military ramifications are real. I should have re-published it prior to 9/11, but this novel is only a bare beginning of what may soon be history.This novel was written as future history - something that is likely to happen in the near future. The original 1987 novel was used as a basis for a war game attended by our top generals and completed only months before Iraq invaded Kuwait. I was consulted on that war game and our response to Iraq was partially modified by my input. However, the manuscripts of this book were read by only a few government officials and a few of my close relatives. This novel had some future technologies that are just now coming into use. Remotely piloted drones are still not as advanced as in the novel, but operate on the same principle I envisioned in 1987.
