Cheap rotors, clever code, and a billion phone cameras have redrawn the map of modern war. Small Wings, Big Wars takes you inside the new battlespace-trenches rewired by quadcopters, cities watched by thermal eyes, seas stalked by explosive boats-and follows the people who live beneath the buzz: pilots in headsets, sappers with nets, lawyers with red pencils, and medics guarding midnight corridors. From first-person strikes to counter-drone umbrellas, from underground workshops to high-altitude guardians, this book shows how attrition went viral-and how restraint had to learn software. It is a ground-truth narrative of Ukraine's front lines and Gaza's dense neighborhoods, of sanctions and invisible factories, of swarms, jamming, open-source doctrine, and the politics of the clip. More than a tour of gadgets, this is a story about culture: the habits and rules that keep machines polite, the "hold" that saves lives, and the civic choreographies that must follow any battlefield that spills into cities. Small Wings, Big Wars is for readers who want the whole picture-tactics, tech, law, and the uneasy peace that comes after the buzz.
