What are some good books for a relatively normal person to comprehend concerning what mech warfare will look like in the next five years? I understand that technology has important role to play in it, but who can present it in a way I can understand. Also, different approach at same topic, who has written good accounts of tank warfare from Desert Storm to now? Much thanks for suggestions! |

By mech you mean mechanised? Or do you mean Voltron? Atkinson's "Crusade" is a good lay person account of Desert Storm. |

You could try the professional US Army magazine "Armor".

Thank you for suggestion. Atkinson looks good:
any thoughts on his "In the Company of Soldiers"?
I assume the 101st had armor support somewhere along the way? |

No idea I'm afraid, haven't read that one.
The Fort Lavenworth papers contain some solid monographs on later C20th armor, but on a mobile so no links. Most of the material I've discovered regarding contempoary/present day involves drones more than anything else. |
