Paperback or Softback. Condition: New. Transforming Command: The Pursuit of Mission Command in the U.S., British, and Israeli Armies. Book.

Paperback. Condition: New. On today's complex, fragmented, fast-moving battlefield, where combatants adapt constantly to exploit one-another's weaknesses, there is a demonstrable requirement for military commanders to devolve a high level of autonomy of decision-making and action to leaders on the ground. An effective model for doing this has existed for some time in the form of mission command and has been utilized by the U.S., Israeli, and British Armies-but with mixed success. This book examines in depth the experiences of the armed forces of each of these countries in implementing mission command, and reveals the key factors that have determined the success or failure of the implementation-factors such as the Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA), the spread of low-intensity conflicts and operations other than war, and differences in how military cultures interpret, articulate, and exercise the command function. It has significant implications for both the development of military doctrine and the training and education of tomorrow's military leaders.…

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Un libro absolutamente revelador del arte de la guerra contemporánea, en el que un estratega militar de renombre internacional y un distinguido miembro de las FDI desentrañan los secretos que se ocultan detrás del improbable éxito, en sus inicios, de las Fuerzas de Defensa de Israel. Desde sus humildes comienzos en mayo de 1948, mal equipadas, con escasa base industrial pero armadas de un espíritu de improvisación inédito, forjaron su camino hacia una victoria decisiva en la primera guerra árabe-israelí, su gran hito. Gracias a Edward N. Luttwak y Eitan Shamir conoceremos la historia militar de Israel, incidiendo en la evolución de sus fuerzas de defensa y cómo han logrado convertirse no solo en el Ejército más poderoso de Oriente Próximo, sino en uno de los más poderosos del mundo. Descubriremos el corazón de su éxito: una estructura organizativa única que abarca fuerzas aéreas, navales y terrestres bajo un solo organismo institucional. Esta singularidad, combinada con un cuerpo de oficiales jóvenes, fomenta la iniciativa «desde abajo», creando una organización ágil y orientada al cambio permanente. Las FDI no solo han sido pioneras en el campo de batalla, sino que también han liderado avances significativos en tecnología militar. Desde el primer uso de drones en tiempos de guerra hasta el famoso sistema de defensa antimisiles Iron Dome y la revolucionaria arma láser Iron Beam, su legado de innovación es indiscutible. Además, las mejoras desconocidas en entrenamiento, logística y gestión de recursos humanos han desempeñado un papel crucial en su éxito. Luttwak y Shamir desvelan los principios clave que han transformado a las Fuerzas de Defensa de Israel en una fuerza militar ágil y efectiva, explorando la maestría estratégica y la creatividad táctica que las han posicionado a la vanguardia de la innovación militar durante las últimas siete décadas. «Rico en detalles raros, muchos de ellos fruto del acceso de los autores a los santuarios internos de las FDI y su conocimiento íntimo de la gran estrategia y la historia militar».

Paperback. Condition: New. In this major re-evaluation of Moshe Dayan's life and career, Eitan Shamir examines one of the most influential individuals in the history of modern Israel. As IDF Chief of Staff, theatre commander during the Sinai campaign and defence minister during the Six Days and Yom Kippur Wars, Dayan shaped Israeli history as well as the principles of Israel's security and foreign affairs. Eitan Shamir explores the basis and justification for Dayan's reputation as a strategist and what made his command and leadership unique. He reveals the ways in which Moshe Dayan led and planned his campaigns, how he made his decisions and his style as a general and a strategist. His findings shed important new light on broader issues of military command and culture, political-military relations, insurgency and counterinsurgency and the relations between small states and large powers, drawing lasting lessons for strategy today.…
