ABSTRACT
A list of the significant changes to warfare this century might contain three items. That warfare has involved the mass of a population for the first time in recent history. That soldiers and citizens have suffered the terrible fury of new chemical and nuclear weapons of mass destruction. That war has ceased to be a distant thing on some foreign field, but has acquired an immediate and visual urgency on the home front through the ability of the modern media to describe the battle soon after it happens, or even as it is happening.
