Warfare & defence
Hardcover. Presents an account of institutional transformation under extreme stress that balances Churchill's self-serving memoirs. This work demonstrates that what political leaders demand from their armies is less important than what those armies are designed to do - and that this oft-recurring disconnect lies at the root of wartime civil-military tension. Series: Modern War Studies. Num Pages: 400 pages, 11 photographs. BIC Classification: 1DBK; 3JJH; HBJD1; HBWQ; JWL. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 241 x 164 x 27. Weight in Grams: 646.
