An illustrated study of aerial electronic combat in the age of the Surface-to-Air Missile. It describes the evolution of American anti-radar weapons, related jamming tactics and stealth technology as leading-edge countermeasures to the SAM and other sophisticated ground-based anti-aircraft defences. The focus is very much on new weapons and tactics as they emerged in combat, beginning with the Vietnam War and later the Persian Gulf and more recent Balkans conflicts. The text combines an analytical overview of the weapons systems mixed with first-hand anecdotal reminiscences from former air and ground crews, with the "hows and whys" of aerial electronic combat given a full airing.
