The authors focus on a complex of three influencing factors—cultural norms, politics, and new technology—offering a historical perspective of more than a century. Their analyses range from developing states to Russia, Britain, the U.S., and NATO. Throughout, they reveal the manifold interactions between state and military, and also within both, as primary driving forces of change.
"Offers a sustained questioning of the assumption that the external strategic environment directly changes military goals, strategies, or organizations.... An important study of a culturalist approach to the issue.... Highly effective."—Richard Lock-Pullan, Journal of Military History
