"Stanley's masterful introduction paints a lively portrait of Finer's life and work and instructs us all on the increasing relevance of Finer's arguments. It will shake the complacency of those who do not know or cannot say when, why, and how militaries intervene in the politics of countries they are supposed to defend."
- James Burke, Texas A&M University
"The Man on Horseback is 'old school' in 'new clothes.' In the current era of renewed interest in civil-military relations, it is important to revisit previous work on this important topic. Finer's thesis is dynamic and raises a much needed ruckus in the civil-military debate....Indeed, the interdisciplinary nature and comparative features of The Man on Horseback makes it especially exciting and timely."
- Morten G. Ender, United States Military Academy
