Unlike most analyses of countries' military power, which focus on material and basic resources - such as the size of population, technological and industrial base, and gross national product (GNP) - this volume takes a more expansive view. Its overarching argument is that states' global environments and the particularities of their cultures, social structures, and political institutions often affect how they organize and prepare for war, and ultimately impact their effectiveness in battle.Military readinessMilitary art and scienceHistory20th centuryArmed ForcesHistory20th centuryElectronic books.Military readiness.Military art and scienceHistoryArmed ForcesHistory355/.0332Brooks Risa948636Stanley Elizabeth A.1970-948637MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451960903321Creating military power2144333UNINA
