This is an excerpt from an unpublished document written in late 1987. The document had been lost for years and rediscovered by the editor in the back of one of his old files. Dr Moore, the advisor for the independent study which resulted in the emergence of Fourth Epoch War theory, has given his permission for this archival document, which he wrote, to be published for the first time. Our initial working term for this theory was ‘ICAB Epics’. ICAB meant ‘Infantry-Cavalry-Artillery-Beam’. This represented the dominant weapons system each Western historical era developed or was projected to develop, as in the case of the post-Modern era. The term ‘epoch’ eventually replaced the term ‘epic’ as the standard term for each historical era. In this excerpt, the term ‘epic’ will be replaced with ‘epoch’ (in brackets) to keep this essay in line with other published Fourth Epoch War documents
