How and when do military innovations take place? Do they proceed
differently during times of peace and times of war? In Winning the
Next War, Stephen Peter Rosen argues that armies and navies are not
forever doomed to "fight the last war." Rather, they are able to
respond to shifts in the international strategic situation. He also
discusses the changing relationship between the civilian innovator
and the military bureaucrat.
In peacetime, Rosen finds, innovation has been the product of
analysis and the politics of military promotion, in a process that
has slowly but successfully built military capabilities critical to
American military success. In wartime, by contrast, innovation has
been constrained by the fog of war and the urgency of combat needs.
Rosen draws his principal evidence from U.S. military policy
between 1905 and 1960, though he also discusses the British army's
experience with the battle tank during World War I.
