Table of Contents

The Journal of Slavic Military Studies- "What the historical development of operational art underlines is expertly conveyed in these volumes...There is vivid and abundant illustration here, tables, figures and sketches of how an "acute understanding" of operational issues, in the context of strategy, can further provide deep and original insights into future war. The relevance of that cannot be overstated.
