Military Power - Land Warfare in Theory and Practice (Paperback, Annotated Ed)

The contributors here consider the multifarious aspects of the Anglo-American approach to war. The essays range from a study of volunteer soldiering in the Mexican War of 1846-48, and analyses of operations in the two World Wars, to a reconsideration of the nature of future warfare. All the contributors are concerned to base their work on the overall historical context. They explore the relationship between theory and practice in military operations. A primary interest is reviewing the problems of transition from the small-scale duties of an imperial or frontier constabulary to coping with the demand of continental warfare. This recurring problem is a central feature of the Anglo-American military tradition. Throughout, a major theme is the importance of peacetime in the mental preparation and training for war.
