MURRAY Williamson
Military adaptation in war : with fear of change / Williamson Murray. - New York : Cambridge Univ Press, 2011. - ix, 342 pages ; 24 cm.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Military Adaptation in War addresses one of the most persistent, yet rarely examined, problems that military organizations confront: namely, the problem of how to adapt under the trying, terrifying conditions of war. This work builds on the volume that Professor Williamson Murray edited with Allan Millett on military innovation (a quite different problem, though similar in some respects). In Clausewitzian terms, war is a contest, an interactive duel, which is of indeterminate length and presents a series of intractable problems at every level, from policy and strategy down to the tactical.
