Synopsis
In today's military of rapid technological and strategic change, obtaining a complete understanding of the present, let alone the past, is a formidable challenge. Yet the very high rate of change today makes study of the past more important than ever before.

It illustrates the great importance of military history while simultaneously revealing the challenges of applying the past to the present.

Those in Part II explore specific historical cases that show the repetitiveness of certain military problems., Exploring the usefulness of the study of history for contemporary military strategists, this volume illustrates the great importance of military history while simultaneously revealing the challenges of applying the past to the present.

- l***r (2)- Évaluations laissées par l'acheteur.Dernier moisAchat vérifiéThe book is dirty, and there is sticky stuff all over the back. It was packaged in a soft-sided package so the corners were damaged a little bit in shipping. There is a crease on the back cover, but for the price and what it is, it’s an excellent value. I will buy from the seller again and hope for a little bit cleaner book😎
