Summary

Understanding Land Warfare provides a thorough grounding in the vocabulary, concepts, issues and debates associated with modern land warfare. The book is a thematic, debate-driven analysis of what makes land warfare unique; how it interacts with the other environments; the key concepts that shape how it is executed; the trade-offs associated with its prosecution; and the controversies that continue to surround its focus and development. Understanding Land Warfare contains several key themes: a- the difficulty of conducting land warfare; b- the interplay between change and continuity; c- the growing importance of co-operation; and d- the variety of ways in which land warfare is fought; the competing theoretical debates; the tensions and trade-offs. -- Publisher description.
