21st Century Patton - Strategic Insights For The Modern Era

35,71€ + 10% CARD

 <DIV>While General George S. Patton Jr. remains an iconic figure seventy years after his death, few fully appreciate him as a strategic thinker. Indeed, his flamboyant personality often obscures the fact that he was a lifelong student of the military arts, a true strategic visionary, and a unique figure in American military history. This short volume introduces readers to a more complete and nuanced Patton. By tracing his intellectual development and connecting his views on strategic thought and history to the issues of the present day, this book offers a bold, fresh view on the famous general. Linking Patton’s success as a warfighter to his efforts as a thinker, this book hopes to kindle debate on managing human capital within the military. Most surely the book will demonstrate that—like Patton— the seeds of military success can be planted throughout a lifetime of formal and self-directed study of the military arts.</DIV>

21st Century Mahan - Sound Military Conclusions For The Modern Era

by Benjamin Armstrong

31,73€ + 10% CARD

 <DIV>Alfred Thayer Mahan''s The Influence of Seapower upon History is well known to students of naval history and strategy, but his other writings are often dismissed as irrelevant to today''s problems. This collection of five of Mahan''s essays, along with Benjamin Armstrong''s informative introductions, illustrates why Mahan''s work remains relevant to the 21st century and how it can help develop our strategic thinking. People misunderstand Mahan, the editor argues, because they have read only what others say about him, not what Mahan wrote himself. Armstrong''s analysis is derived directly from Mahan''s own writings. From the challenges of bureaucratic organization and the pit falls of staff duty, to the development of global strategy and fleet composition, to illustrations of effective combat leadership, Armstrong demonstrates that Mahan''s ideas continue to provide today''s readers with a solid foundation to address the challenges of a rapidly globalizing world.</DIV>
