AUSABACKGROUNDBR�F No. 66 January 1995 PROFESSIONAL MILITARY READING - RECENT TITLES The selections that follow provide a cross-section of recently published books which, in the opinion of the IL Wstaff, enrich professional military reading. Most are new titles; others are reprints. Some are directly related to the profession of arms, particularly doctrine, leadership and combat operations; others are historical analyses of events which gave cause to the commitment of U.S. military forces. Finally, some represent the contemporary state-of-affairs of military policy and the internationalsecurity environment. All are important to understanding the events which underlie the decisions of national leaders to use military capabilities to achieve national objectives.
