Reviews
This is a very necessary, and long overdue, book that sheds light on a neglected facet of military and naval history: the combined operation. Adopting a global context, Jeremy Black explains the evolving strategic, tactical, and political purposes of combined operations from the ancient world to the modern day. In so doing, he demonstrates that these organizationally complex operations have mapped the fluctuating character of war over time and remain a potentially effective asymmetrical engagement in global conflict. -- KAJ McLay, Canterbury Christ Church University Jeremy Black has produced an outstanding and comprehensive history of combined military operations. The main emphasis is on the eighteenth century to the present, but Black also expertly analyzes and chronicles the non-Western military tradition and history from the ancient to the modern world, a little-examined but critical subject. As with his previous books on world military, strategic, and operational history, this work is a tour de force addressing the fundamental dynamics inherent in combined military operations. -- Stanley D. M. Carpenter, U.S. Naval War College
