Military Realism - The Logic and Limits of Force and Innovation in the U.s. Army

Summary

In five case studies of US Army doctrine, Peter Campbell pits military realism against bureaucratic and cultural perspectives in three key areas - nuclear versus conventional warfare, preferences for offense versus defense, and COIN missions - and finds that the army has been more doctrinally flexible than those perspectives would predict.
