This book studies the impact of cultural factors on the course of
military innovations. One would expect that countries accustomed to
similar technologies would undergo analogous changes in their
perception of and approach to warfare. However, the intellectual
history of the Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA) in Russia, the
US, and Israel indicates the opposite. The US developed technology
and weaponry for about a decade without reconceptualizing the
existing paradigm about the nature of warfare. Soviet 'new theory
of victory' represented a conceptualization which chronologically
preceded technological procurement. Israel was the first to utilize
the weaponry on the battlefield, but was the last to develop a
conceptual framework that acknowledged its revolutionary
implications.
Utilizing primary sources that had previously been completely
inaccessible, and borrowing methods of analysis from political
science, history, anthropology, and cognitive psychology, this book
suggests a cultural explanation for this puzzling transformation in
warfare.
"The Culture of Military Innovation" offers a systematic, thorough,
and unique analytical approach that may well be applicable in other
perplexing strategic situations. Though framed in the context of
specific historical experience, the insights of this book reveal
important implications related to conventional, subconventional,
and nonconventional security issues. It is therefore an ideal
reference work for practitioners, scholars, teachers, and students
of security studies.
