5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent summary of recent trends in world armies.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Changing Orders: The Evolution of the World's Armies, 1945 to the Present (Hardcover)
Peter Tsouras has produced an extemely useful work for military analysts and anyone studying post WW II trends in the major armed forces of the world. He focuses on
land forces, with some examination of air power in relation to ground combat operations. He makes extensive use of secondary sources and provides useful endnotes at the end of each chapter.
The book is divided chronologically into decade blocks. Within each decade he surveys the significant events shaping the evolutions of the world's leading land military powers such as Great Britain, France, the former Soviet Union, and of course the United States.
The book is written to be used as a reference work or read as a continuous narrative. With the exception of John Keegan's now dated, The World's Armies, published in 1966, Tsouras' work is both unique and timely.
Highly recommended for the professional researcher; recommended but a bit expensive for the casual student of military affairs
