Reviews

Vivid, incisive, laced with trenchant observations, Blitzkrieg to Desert Storm is a remarkable--even brilliant--study of war at the operational level, emphasizing the importance of intangibles and the elusiveness of decisive victory.--Andrew J. Bacevich, author of American Empire An important addition to the current debate over what direction U.S. military doctrine should take, this book brings back into focus the central role of operational-level warfare in military thought.--James S. Corum, author of The Roots of Blitzkrieg A superb survey by a sophisticated military historian.--Jonathan M. House, author of Combined Arms Warfare in the Twentieth Century Interesting, informative and insightful.--Andrew F. Krepinevich author of The Army and Vietnam
