Command - Anthony (university Of Warwick) King - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Command - Anthony (university Of Warwick) King - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

In the wake of the troubled campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq, military decision-making appears to be in crisis and generals have been subjected to intense and sustained public criticism. Taking these interventions as a starting point, Anthony King examines the transformation of military command in the twenty-first century. Focusing on the army division, King argues that a phenomenon of collective command is developing. In the twentieth century, generals typically directed and led operations personally, monopolising decision-making. They commanded individualistically, even heroically. As operations have expanded in range and scope, decision-making has multiplied and diversified. As a result command is becoming increasingly professionalised and collaborative. Through interviews with many leading generals and vivid ethnographic analysis of divisional headquarters, this book provides a unique insight into the transformation of command in western armies.

Strategy and Command - David Horner - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Strategy and Command - David Horner - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

In Strategy and Command, David Horner provides an important insight into the strategic decisions and military commanders who shaped Australia''s army history from the Boer War to the evolution of the command structure for the Australian Defence Force in the 2000s. He examines strategic decisions such as whether to go to war, the nature of the forces to be committed to the war, where the forces should be deployed and when to reduce the Australian commitment. The book also recounts decisions made by commanders at the highest level, which are passed on to those at the operational level, who are then required to produce their own plans to achieve the government''s aims through military operations. Strategy and Command is a compilation of research and writing on military history by one of Australia''s pre-eminent military historians. It is a crucial read for anyone interested in Australia''s involvement in 20th-century wars.

Counsel and Command in Early Modern English Thought - Joanne (university Of Sussex) Paul - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Counsel and Command in Early Modern English Thought - Joanne (university Of Sussex) Paul - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

While it has often been recognised that counsel formed an essential part of the political discourse in early modern England, the precise role that it occupied in the development of political thinking has remained obscure. This comprehensive and rigorous study of early modern English political counsel establishes the importance of the relationship between political counsel and the discourse of sovereignty. Tracing the changes and evolution of writings on political counsel during the ''monarchy of counsel'', from the end of the Wars of the Roses to the end of the English Civil War, Joanne Paul examines English thought in its domestic and transnational context, providing an original account of the relationship between counsel and emerging conceptions of sovereignty. Formed at the conjunction of the history of political thought and English political history, this book grounds textual analysis within the context of court politics, intellectual and patronage networks, and diplomacy.

The New Hemingway Studies - - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

The New Hemingway Studies - - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

The subject of endless biographies, fictional depictions, and critical debate, Ernest Hemingway continues to command attention in popular culture and in literary studies. He remains both a definitive stylist of twentieth-century literature and a case study in what happens to an artist consumed by the spectacle of celebrity. The New Hemingway Studies examines how two decades of new-millennium scholarship confirm his continued relevance to an era that, on the surface, appears so distinct from his—one defined by digital realms, ecological anxiety, and globalization. It explores the various sources (print, archival, digital, and other) through which critics access Hemingway. Highlighting the latest critical trends, the contributors to this volume demonstrate how Hemingway''s remarkably durable stories, novels, and essays have served as a lens for understanding preeminent concerns in our own time, including paranoia, trauma, iconicity, and racial, sexual, and national identities.
