Das Buch führt in die Idee der "revolution of military affairs (RMA)" ein, die der Transformation in den amerikanischen Streitkräften zugrunde liegt. Im Unterschied zu anderen Studien zu RMA fokussiert der Band ausdrücklich nicht auf das US-Militär, sondern denkt über die Anwendbarkeit solcher Prozesse auch für kleinere Staaten nach. Der Band gliedert sich in drei Teile: Transformation in Strategie und Kriegsführung (1), Transformation in der Operative(2), mögliche Hindernisse für RMA und ihre Beseitigung (3).
