Euclid's Army

Více o knize

Rejecting much of the conventional wisdom to what makes up a modern Army, William F. Owen massacres fields sacred cows to challenge many of the mainstream ideas about the future of land warfare and how it should be conducted. Based on his experience working with the British Army and industry, Owen draws the reader back to basics based on limited budgets, limited resources and an overall reduction in cost, weight and complexity to comprehensively understand how armies might or should equip, train and organise for any unknowable future. Stripped of traditional academic or journalistic approaches and well-worn familiar narratives, "Euclid's Army" reformulates how soldiers, civil servants and politicians should think about land warfare, thus war in general.
