Originally published in 1961, by a team of scientists and engineers from Convair led by Robert J. Schlesinger, this classic book still provides an excellent analysis of the principles of electronic warfare even today.
"During World War II, the rapid growth of military electronics had its start. Today, and in the foreseeable future, large-scale weapon systems depend and will depend on electronic technology.
The importance of these electronic weapon systems to the overall concept of warfare is often obscured in detailed discussions of specific systems. For this reason, a broad understanding of the principles involved is essential. It is significant that these principles involve both engineering sciences and military strategy. In electronic warfare the terms "radiation" and "detection" must be considered in the same light as "offense" and "defense" are in strategic and tactical warfare."—From the Introduction
