Forty years of confrontation in Europe produced a complex set of
conditioned reflexes in western military thinking. With the end of
the Warsaw pact, planning and analysis specialists have been
compelled to look again at basic principles. The analysis of threat
and response has been transformed, and patterns of likely action
such as the Gulf intervention have been accommodated. In practical
terms, these developments affect what is taught to both new
officers and senior officers about to assume command
responsibilities.
The essays in "The" "Science of War" will foster a better
understanding of the factors that operate at the higher levels of
war. The contributors provide a penetrating study of the
operational level of war from a general and speculative vantage
point which integrates military theory and historical experience.
As a whole, the book provides a theoretical basis for the
principles of the planning and conduct of war at the operational
level, without linking it to a specific formation or scenario.
The Staff College at Camberley has become an international focus
for thinking in the development of military operations, and this
book is the response of serving officers to this pattern of change.
Their authoritative review of topics central to the study of war in
the modern world provides an assessment of the possible shape and
location of future wars.
