Explaining Victory and Defeat in Modern Battle

by Stephen Biddle ...

In war, do mass and materiel matter most? Will states with the largest, best equipped, information-technology-rich militaries invariably win? The prevailing answer today among both scholars and policymakers is yes. But this is to overlook force employment, or the doctrine and tactics by which materiel is actually used. In a landmark reconception of battle and war, this book provides a systematic ... Read more

Canadian Perspectives on Special Operations Forces

Edited by Colonel Bernd Horn, Tony Balasevicius ...
