This is one of the classic works on historical analysis of combat
by David Rowland as part of his work in the Ministry of Defence. It
was widely recognised for its pioneering research on combat. The
book starts by summarising development of UK MOD historical
analysis from studies in the 1970s. Then it analyses exercises,
allowed advice to be given on more realistic combat modelling.
Using quantitative Historical Analysis (HA), it was possible to
compare between the levels of effectiveness between simulated and
real combat and to establish combat degradation estimates. The
effects of suppression, surprise and shock, were also quantified.
The result of this research shed new light on infantry combat,
armour v anti-tank weapons and heroism on the battlefield. The
large number of diagrams make the analysis clear and although the
book is based around statistics, no in-depth maths is needed to
understanding the conclusions.
