Trade paperback. Zustand: Good. First Printing. vii, [5], 339, [1] pages. Maps. Notes. Works Cited. Index Cover has some wear and creasing. Ink note on rep. Martin Levi van Creveld (born 5 March 1946) is an Israeli military historian and theorist. In 1950, his family immigrated to Israel, and Creveld grew up in Ramat Gan. From 1964 to 1969, he studied history at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and earned an MA. From 1969-71, he studied history at the London School of Economics and received a Ph.D. Van Creveld's doctoral dissertation on Hitler's strategy in the Balkans during the early years of World War II was published as a book in 1973: "Hitler's Strategy, 1940-41. The Balkan Clue." After completing his Ph.D. in 1971, van Creveld returned to Israel and began teaching at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He became a professor in 1988. In 2007, he began teaching at Tel Aviv University's Security Studies Program. Van Creveld has lectured or taught at countless civilian and military institutes of higher learning all over the world. This is the first book to deal exclusively with the nature of command itself, and to trace its development over two thousand years from ancient Greece to Vietnam. It treats the whole variety of problems involved in commanding armies, including organization and administration, communications methods and technologies, weaponry, and logistics. And it analyzes the relationship between these and military strategy. In vivid descriptions of key battles and campaigns, he focuses on the means of command and shows how those means worked in practice. He finds that technological advances all brought commanders not only new tactical possibilities but also new limitations. The one constant has been the search for certainty--about the state and intentions of the enemy; about the environment in which war is fought; and about the state, and activities of one's forces. The book concludes that progress has usually been achieved less by employing technologies than by finding ways to transcend the limitations of existing ones.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Many books have been written about strategy, tactics, and great commanders. This is the first book to deal exclusively with the nature of command itself, and to trace its development over two thousand years from ancient Greece to Vietnam. It treats historically the whole variety of problems involved in commanding armies, including staff organization and administration, communications methods and technologies, weaponry, and logistics. And it analyzes the relationship between these problems and military strategy.In vivid descriptions of key battles and campaignsamong others, Napoleon at Jena, Moltkes Koniggratz campaign, the ArabIsraeli war of 1973, and the Americans in VietnamMartin van Creveld focuses on the means of command and shows how those means worked in practice. He finds that technological advances such as the railroad, breech-loading rifles, the telegraph and later the radio, tanks, and helicopters all brought commanders not only new tactical possibilities but also new limitations.Although vast changes have occurred in military thinking and technology, the one constant has been an endless search for certaintycertainty about the state and intentions of the enemys forces; certainty about the manifold factors that together constitute the environment in which war is fought, from the weather and terrain to radioactivity and the presence of chemical warfare agents; and certainty about the state, intentions, and activities of ones own forces. The book concludes that progress in command has usually been achieved less by employing more advanced technologies than by finding ways to transcend the limitations of existing ones. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…
