History Krause, Michael: Historical Perspectives of the Operational Art.v2, 22 August 2009

[mrmikel]

This is an overview of the operational art. In military terms, it is the glue (logistics particularly) between overall strategy and tactics. Failure to understand these concepts led to the horrific slaughter of World War I.

It reviews historic combat by France, Germany, the United States and Russia. It brings out that clarifying these concepts was done by Russians, a startling concept for those who thought most military thought came out of Germany.

A must read for those with an interest in military history.
