In this timely monograph, British authors Mr. Keir Giles and Dr.
Steve Tatham fuse key lessons from two disparate theaters to argue
persuasively for greater education of Army personnel in human
terrain disciplines. Dr. Tatham, an expert in strategic
communications and influence operations with extensive experience
in Iraq and Afghanistan, and Mr. Giles, a long-term scholar of
Russian military and political decisionmaking processes, both
contribute a wealth of accessible examples and anecdotes to argue
their case for greater investment in human domain skills, both as
an insurance against future conflict and in order to prevail in
that conflict should it be joined. Drawing on a range of sources
across social science and linguistics, they make the crucial point
that both commanders and junior personnel must be not only prepared
but also educated to set aside their cultural, social, and even
linguistic preconceptions in order to accurately assess the options
open to an adversary.
