MILNET: The MILNET Reading List, June, 2002



Many visitors to our site write to ask about where MILNET get's its information.  The MILNET bibliography contains most of the major sources in the form of non-fiction books.

We also read -- a lot.  Here is the reading list mostly for items read in 2000 - 2002  It  includes a few articles that can be found on MILNET that are a) key documents,  b) mirrored,  c) have been re-read many times, and d) may have been published earlier than 2000. And finally it also includes MILNET briefings and AFI Research links we thought were important to read online as well.
