Download or read book No Man s Land written by Eric J. Leed and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1979-05-31 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the firsthand accounts of German, French, British, and American front-line soldiers, No Man's Land examines how the first modern, industrialized war transformed the character of the men who participated in it. Ancient myths about war eroded in the trenches, where the relentless monotony and impotence of the solder's life was interrupted only by unpredictable moments of annihilation. Professor Leed looks at how the traumatic experience of combat itself and the wholesale shattering of the conventions and ethical codes of normal social life turned ordinary civilians into 'liminal men', men living beyond the limits of the accepted and the expected. He uses the concept of liminality to illuminate the central features of the war experience: the separation from 'home': the experience of pollution, death, comradeship, and 'the uncanny': and the ambivalence of returning veterans about civilian society. In a final chapter Professor Leed assesses the long-term political impact of the front experience. He finds that the end of hostilities did not mean the end of the war experience as much as the beginning of a process by which that experience was framed, institutionalized, celebrated and relived in political action as well as in fiction.

Download or read book Continuous Land Combat written by J. J Emanski (Jr) and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents the results of a study of continuous land combat, a concept of modern warfare made possible by the complete mechanization of land combat forces and the technology that enables effective combat at night, in poor weather, and under low visibility conditions. It is a logical extension of the blitzkreig warfare of the German Armies in World War II. An abbreviated comparison is made of current U.S. perception of and capabilities for the conduct and support of continuous land combat with the land and air force needs to achieve that capability. A systems perspective was taken in examining combat and combat supporting functions and the essential elements of a continuous combat capability--doctrine, organization, training, equipment and technology. An effort was made to gain the participation and input of those operational and development organizations that are concerned with various aspects of continuous land combat operations. (Author).
Download or read book Land Warfare since 1860 written by Jeremy Black and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2018-08-10 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This cogent global history traces the evolution of land warfare since the start of the Crimean War. Jeremy Black argues that although it has always been critical to the outcome of conflicts worldwide, land warfare has become undervalued in comparison to air power in modern military thinking. In practice, land warfare was crucial during the American Civil War, the two world wars, and the conflicts of the Cold War. Indeed, the revival of great power confrontation has led to an urgent need to re-examine the entire contemporary period. Looking to the future, the book shows convincingly that we must consider the nature of the military for non-state actors as well for as the major powers.Ultimately, Black contends, there is no substitute for the control over territory provided by boots on the ground.

Download or read book Military Power written by Stephen Biddle and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2010-12-16 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In war, do mass and materiel matter most? Will states with the largest, best equipped, information-technology-rich militaries invariably win? The prevailing answer today among both scholars and policymakers is yes. But this is to overlook force employment, or the doctrine and tactics by which materiel is actually used. In a landmark reconception of battle and war, this book provides a systematic account of how force employment interacts with materiel to produce real combat outcomes. Stephen Biddle argues that force employment is central to modern war, becoming increasingly important since 1900 as the key to surviving ever more lethal weaponry. Technological change produces opposite effects depending on how forces are employed; to focus only on materiel is thus to risk major error--with serious consequences for both policy and scholarship. In clear, fluent prose, Biddle provides a systematic account of force employment's role and shows how this account holds up under rigorous, multimethod testing. The results challenge a wide variety of standard views, from current expectations for a revolution in military affairs to mainstream scholarship in international relations and orthodox interpretations of modern military history. Military Power will have a resounding impact on both scholarship in the field and on policy debates over the future of warfare, the size of the military, and the makeup of the defense budget.
