How Space & Info OPS rules the battlespace...

This AFCEA book, "The First Information War," provides great coverage of how information helped win the Persian Gulf war of 1990/1991. While the compiling editor included text from all areas of information operations (computers, satellites, nodal analysis), the best area covers satellite communications. The utility of communication satellites (DSCS and commercial links) was proven during this conflict by the ingenuity of the systems operators, planners and architects. Since Info Ops and satellite communications are so integrated, I would recommend this book to CSPs (Certified Space Professionals) as an 'area-broadening' book, not a primary text.
