A "BLAST" from the past.
It's kept me buying through thick and thin. FWIW.

Nonlethal weapons cannot be thought of in a "business as usual" sense or, for that matter, solely as a new type of force multiplier. It is the opinion of the editor (and most of the contributors to this paper) that when nonlethal weapons are ready for wide-scale application, this will signal a development as significant in magnitude as the emergence of gunpowder based firearms during the European Renaissance. Just as the firearm gave the ability for distance-killing that destroyed a Western ban existing since the time of the Iliad, the introduction of nonlethals may allow for tailored employment of politico-military force and challenge the accepted definition of warfare.
