Reviews
This volume is the first monography dedicated to the revolutionary Northrop Grumman E-8 JSTARS. Author Sergio Santana is quite effective in describing the complex and long evolution of this plane that revolutionized the air and ground battle field. The chapters also unveil the innovative technique of the JSTARS, able to search and track all the targets in a 50.000 km(2) area and so inaugurating new tactics particularly effective in the counter-terrorism arena. Since its operational debut in 1991 during Desert Storm the E-8 demonstrated an impressive efficiency in all the combat theatres, from Iraq to Afghanistan and Syria. The book is very well researched and completed by a beautiful and rich iconographic section. Recommended.Marco De Montis
