Recenzje

'This is a splendid collection, unusually useful for practitioners of joint warfare and historians, that fills a painful literature gap. Each case study provides useful historical and operational background, compactly presented, and each poses analytical dilemmas that can facilitate academic and operational educational learning opportunities. While there is much we do not know about these conflicts, the authors have done yeoman's work in carefully sifting what we do know, starting the conversation for what it might mean for combat and deterrence.' Brian R. Price, Journal of Military History
