Description

Former owner's seal indented on front free-page. Previous owner has deleted his name in black marker and has bled to title page. Corners have been taped to prevent damage. ; Concentrating on land warfare, distinguished U. S. Military historian Jones argues that most military events can be explained by military factors. The framework of his analysis is strategy, which Jones sees as remaining consistent for 2500 years. When applied, however, strategy becomes dependent on tactics and logistics. These in turn are constantly modified by technology. The result is an ever-changing dialectic of options that continues to make war a viable political option even in the nuclear age. ; 740 pages
