This edited volume focuses on civil-military relations before and
during great power conflicts, and comprises historical case studies
of modern supreme leadership. It aims to provide a guide for the
future by shining a light on what worked and what failed in the
civil-military relationships that steered great powers during the
last era of rapid global change. While future civil-military
relationships will have to adapt to the current global environment,
the past remains, as always, a prelude. Thus, crucial concepts that
underpin all such relationships are eternal and are waiting to be
drawn out by historians trained to examine and present them to
those who can put them to immediate good use. This volume
demonstrates the relevance of history in every chapter, as readers
will see parallels to today’s problems throughout every case
study. The world is entering an age of great challenges, many of
which require nations - particularly the most powerful - to
establish civil-military relationships capable of navigating
dangerous currents without a repeat of the calamities reminiscent
of the last century. Each chapter focuses on a particular
civil-military relationship as it developed before and during a
great war. The editors have gathered leading experts on each of
these periods to produce a concise but thorough essay on each
relationship's intricacies. This book will be of much interest to
students of military and strategic studies, military history and
International Relations, as well as professional miliary colleges
and policymakers.
