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. (All Brassey's books are available at a discount; to order by calll-800-775-2518.)
