Iron Hand is the amazing story of US aerial electronic combat in the age of the surface-to-air missile. The focus is on new weapons and tactics as they emerged in combat, including anti-radar weapons and stealth technology, from Vietnam in the 1960s to recent conflicts in the Persian Gulf and the Balkans. The author’s authoritative narrative combines an analytical overview of the weapons systems with dramatic first-hand accounts from aircrews, told in an accessible and entertaining style.
