The Science of War: Back to First Principles
ISBN: 9780415079952 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Forty years of confrontation in Europe have produced a complex set of conditioned reflexes in Western military thinking.

The analysis of threat and response has been transformed and new patterns of likely action, such as the Gulf intervention, have been accommodated. In practical terms, this affects what is taught to both new officers and senior officers about to assume command responsibilities. The essays in the Science of War attempt...

Jfc Fuller: Military Thinker
ISBN: 9780333530146 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 283 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Brian Holden Reid now considers afresh the military thought of Major-General J.F.C.Fuller - a pioneer of tank warfare and one of the most important military thinkers of the twentieth century. With a wealth of documentation, much of it previously untapped, Dr Reid explores Fuller's formative experiences, showing how his early life, his service in the Boer War and in India, and his friendships with many alienated intellectuals, including the notorious Aleister Crowley, combined to shape his mental outlook and, eventually, his study of the phenomenon of war.
