	Early modern warfare - Definition, explanation
		Early modern warfare is associated with the start of the widespread use of gunpowder and the development of suitable weapons to use the explosive.

		This was also the time of the beginning of European exploration and colonial expansion and the lack of any significant intermediary period of early modern warfare proved decisive.

	OR/MS Today - April 1997 - Info Warfare

	Modern Vs Medievil Warfare - Above Top Secret Conspiracy Community
		Warfare today is merely about who has the best weapondry and technology.
		Ancient warfare was about tactics and strategy, todays wars take strategy, but are more or less firepower oriented.

	Amazon.fr : Weapons Grade: How Modern Warfare Gave Birth To Our High-Tech World: Livres en anglais: David Hambling (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Throughout history, war and the threat of war have driven innovation and accelerated the uptake of new technology—from the nomadic warriors who introduced the stirrup and the kebab to the world, to the British Navy’s funding of Marconi’s newfangled radio.
		With the skills of a master storyteller, Hambling traces the history of this relationship in the modern era and shows how precision eye surgery emerged out of the military quest for a "death ray," how transistors and silicon chips initially helped build better bombs, and exactly why the 747 has such a distinctive shape.
		Hambling explores the current cutting edge of modern military research as he seeks to identify the technologies that will transform our lives in the decades to come.

	Relearning counterinsurgency warfare Parameters - Find Articles
		Trinquier was introduced to counterinsurgency warfare in Indochina before being assigned to Algeria in 1957 as a Lieutenant Colonel with the French 10th Parachute Division.
