LTG (Ret.) Clarence E. McKnight, Jr., ("Mac") a native of Tennessee and 1952 graduate of West Point, served in the Korean War, commanded two Signal Battalions in Europe, including Commander, 5th Signal Command/deputy chief of staff for communications-electronics, U.S. Army Europe. He served as commandant of the U.S. Army Signal Center and School, and commander, U.S. Army Communications Command. He served four tours as commander of Fort Gordon, Georgia, and Fort Huachuca, Arizona, and concluded his active career as Director of Command, Control and Communications Systems for the Joint Chiefs of Staff in Washington, D.C. Mac believes the extraordinary promise of digital communications technology is being squandered as government, schools and individuals are inundated with more information than they can manage. Indeed, he is concerned that digital technology is corrupting society in unforeseen ways that is undermining our social cohesion, political stability and economic strength. This book is a warning and call to arms.
The author led the U.S. Army into the modern age of computer warfare developing portals through which avenues of digitalisation eventually flowed to civilian use. A graduate of West Point, he rose to the rank of Commanding General of the U.S. Army's Signal Corps developing technology used by all the military services. This is his story beginning as a lieutenant in the Korean War when he used radio communication with pigeon backup to Operation Desert Storm when computer warfare was used for the first time.
