COMMAND - LAWRENCE FREEDMAN KARTONIERT (TB)

A timely history of the interplay between politics and military operations  'Command is the
history of our time' (Guardian) Military command has been reconstructed and revolutionized
since the Second World War by nuclear warfare  small-scale guerrilla land operations and cyber
interference. Freedman takes a global perspective  systematically investigating its practice
and politics since 1945 through a wide range of conflicts from the French Colonial Wars  the
Cuban Missile Crisis and the Bangladesh Liberation War to North Vietnam's Easter Offensive of
1972  the Falklands War  the Iraq War and Russia's wars in Chechnya and Ukraine. By
highlighting the political nature of strategy  Freedman shows that military decision-making
cannot be separated from civilian priorities and that commanders must now have the sensibility
to navigate politics as well as warfare.
