The Utility of Force: The Art of War in the Modern World Rupert Smith pdf - Why do we try to use military force to solve our political problems? And why, when our forces win the military battles does this still fail to solve those problems? It is because the force lacks utility. From Iraq to the Balkans, and from Afghanistan to Chechneya, over the past fifteen years there has been a steady stream of military interventions that have not delivered on their promise for peace, or even political resolution. The Utility of Force explains this anomaly at the heart of our current international system.Rang parmi les ventes Amazon: #239317 dans eBooksPublié le: 2012-03-29Sorti le: 2012-03-29Format: Ebook KindlePrésentation de l'éditeurWhy do we try to use military force to solve our political problems?

I warmly recommend this book for anyone interested to understand what strategy truly is or should be. It is very accessible, direct to the point and at the same time shows clear options to exercise instead of force, in our turbulent times.Thank you Sir, for such a great work!
