American Defense Policy
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This book is a collection of scholarly articles that demonstrate, both historically and politically, what the United State's defense policy has been during major and minor conflicts, cold war era, and through the present day war on terrorism. It is an excellent insight into the past with a good idea into where this countries policy are heading with an analysis of where it should be through varying perspectives. I found the book a good read and even though I disagreed with some of the conclusions it certainly demonstrated the arguments from all sides.
Understanding Strategy
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book, a collection of essays by some of the world's leading historians and political scientists gives a reader a glimpse into both the theroetical structure and real life examples of military structure. This is not a textbook on military strategy however, and the examples may not always directly illustrate every given aspect of the theory. But if you want a taste for strategy - it is highly recommended.
