In the wake of the troubled campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq,
military decision-making appears to be in crisis and generals have
been subjected to intense and sustained public criticism. Taking
these interventions as a starting point, Anthony King examines the
transformation of military command in the twenty-first century.
Focusing on the army division, King argues that a phenomenon of
collective command is developing. In the twentieth century,
generals typically directed and led operations personally,
monopolising decision-making. They commanded individualistically,
even heroically. As operations have expanded in range and scope,
decision-making has multiplied and diversified. As a result command
is becoming increasingly professionalised and collaborative.
Through interviews with many leading generals and vivid
ethnographic analysis of divisional headquarters, this book
provides a unique insight into the transformation of command in
western armies.
