Another Bloody Century: Future Warfare
ISBN: 9780304367344 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 440 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. How the wars of the near future will be fought and who will win them Many nations, peoples and special interest groups believe that violence will advance their cause. Warfare has changed greatly since the Second World War; it continued to change during the late 20th century and this process is still accelerating. Political, technological, social and religious forces are shaping the future of warfare, but most western armed forces have yet to evolve significantly from the cold war era when they trained to resist a conventional invasion by the Warsaw Pact. America is now the only...

Perspectives on Strategy
ISBN: 9780198778714 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Perspectives on Strategy examines in depth five aspects of strategy. Strategic thought and behaviour are explored and explained from the perspectives of intellect, morality, culture, geography, and technology. Each perspective has attracted persisting controversy.

Hard Power and Soft Power: The Utility of Military Force as an Instrument of Policy in the 21st Century
ISBN: 9781477626702 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 70 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The concept of soft power, that is the influence attained through the co-option of foreigners by the attractiveness of our values, ideas, and practices, understandably has great appeal. Soft power is much cheaper than the hard power of military force, and it is more compatible with the culture of a principally liberal American society. All too often, military force seems to fail as an instrument of policy and, as a consequence, it invites the view that it is becoming obsolescent and even anachronistic. Dr. Colin Gray subjects hard and soft power to close critical scrutiny and finds that the...

This advanced textbook examines and develops the author's influential theory of military strategy.

Airpower for Strategic Effect
ISBN: 9781478392262 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 366 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this magisterial tour d'horizon of the air weapon's steady rise in effectiveness since its fledgling days, Colin Gray, a prolific strate gist of long-standing scholarly achievement and international repute, has rightly taken a long view of today's pattern of regional conflict by appraising airpower in the broader context in which its operational payoff will ultimately be registered. His careful development of airpower's "strategic narrative," as he calls it, shows convincingly how the relative criticality of the air weapon in joint warfare is neither universal nor unchanging but rather is...

Modern Strategy
ISBN: 9780198782513 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Modern Strategy explains the permanent nature, but ever changing character, of strategy in light of the whole strategic experience of the twentieth century. The book is a major contribution to the general theory of strategy; it makes sense of the strategic history of the twentieth century, and provides understanding of what that strategic history implies for the century to come.
The book offers a uniquely comprehensive analysis of the different facets of modern strategy. The classic writings of Carl von Clausewitz are reconsidered for their continuing relevance, while possible...

Fighting Talk: Forty Maxims on War, Peace, and Strategy
ISBN: 9780275991319 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Gray presents an inventive treatise on the nature of strategy, war, and peace, organized around forty maxims. This collection of mini-essays will forearm politicians, soldiers, and the attentive general public against many--probably most--fallacies that abound in contemporary debates about war, peace, and security. While one can never guarantee strategic success, which depends on policy, military prowess, and the quality of the dialogue between the two, a strategic education led by the judgments in these maxims increases the chances that one's errors will be small rather than catastrophic....

The Strategy Bridge: Theory for Practice
ISBN: 9780199579662 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Strategy Bridge presents the general theory of strategy and explains the utility of this general theory for the particular strategies that strategists need to develop in order to meet their historically unique challenges. The book argues that strategy's general theory provides essential education for practicing strategists at all times and in all circumstances. As general theory, The Strategy Bridge is as relevant to understanding strategic behavior in the Peloponnesian War as it is for the conflicts of the twenty-first century.

Strategy and Defence Planning: Meeting the Challenge of Uncertainty
ISBN: 9780198778707 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Strategy and Defence Planning: Meeting the Challenge of Uncertainty explores and examines why and how security communities prepare purposefully for their future defence. The author explains that defence planning is the product of interplay among political process, historical experience, and the logic of strategy. The theory of strategy best reveals both the nature and the working of defence planning. Political 'ends', strategic 'ways', and military 'means' all fed by reigning, if not always recognized, assumptions, organize the subject well with a template that can serve any time,...

ISBN: 9781478296355 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 52 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The United States has long suffered from a serious strategy deficit. For so long as Americans short change the strategic function, the leverage of US airpower must be much less than its potential. The study argues strongly for the rigorous application of strategic discipline to all airpower activity, not only the kinetic.

Explorations in Strategy
ISBN: 9780275962562 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This study is one of the rare contributions to the very small library of genuine strategic studies. (Strategy here covers all military activity.) The broad purpose is to show how strategy works, using air power and special operations as substantial case studies, but also addressing sea power, nuclear deterrence, and information warfare. Although this book has many interesting things to say about the future of air power, the reliability of non-nuclear deterrence, the true character of joint warfare, the utility of special warriors, and the limitations of excellence in information warfare,...
