Providing a comprehensive account of the world's many wars, as they happen. This, the seventh volume in the series, has been expanded and updated to follow the progress of the main areas of interstate violence, counter-insurgency, guerrilla warfare and terrorism, and includes full accounts of the civil war in Yugoslavia and the situation in the former Soviet Union. Drawing on interviews with many informed sources, including diplomats, journalists and professional observers, this book presents an assessment of each conflict, analyses of the tactics of the belligerents and speculates on likely future developments. Packed with information and maps, this should be a useful reference volume for professional soldiers, journalists, politicians, students and industrialists, and anyone who needs to keep up to date with contemporary global affairs.
