Peters presents the warfare and the military hardware of 2020 in convincing fashion. It's an exciting enough book, kind of in the Tom Clancy mold, mostly about the 7th Cavalry's experiences in a future conflict that pits Japan, white South Africa and various Islamic jihadis against a militarily degraded United States and a crumbling Soviet Union. At least in The War in 2020, you'd have to say his past vision was pretty foggy. Peters is still today making confident predictions about what the war on terror holds in store for us, so it seems worthwhile to look back and see how he did in the past. On the one hand, it seems almost cruel to revisit someone's predictions about geopolitics a decade after they made them.
