Innovation shapes wars, and twelve studies by former faculty
members of West Point's United States Military Academy examine
specific cases of past and present military innovation. The
complex, competitive, and dynamic environment that defines war
drives combatants to seek solutions to potentially lethal problems.
As some solutions prove effective, gain traction, and win
emulation, they follow a path of innovation. The chapters address a
broad array of innovations, including in weapon technology,
strategy, research and development philosophy, organization of the
military instrument, and leveraging maps for strategic goals.
Geographically, the examples in this volume span four continents
and the Mediterranean Sea, and chronologically they proceed from
the twelfth century to the twenty first. Collectively, the studies
point to the interconnected value of pursuing constructive
solutions to challenges, networking interdisciplinary forms of
knowledge, appropriately balancing expectations and capabilities,
and understanding an innovation as a journey rather than as an
episodic event.
