Synopsis

The British Army have determined that should deterrence fail, they will be able to fight, and win, a conventional war. This has meant developing an entirely new approach to the business of war. Many senior British military figures have decided that the time has come to train officers to think about how to fight and this book contains the work of serving officers directly addressing this core issue. This volume, which contains twelve studies, comes as a direct result of the Higher Command and Staff Course, which has been described by Professor Sir Michael Howard as "perhaps the most important innovation made by the British Army since 1945".
