Rezension zu „Olsen, J: Practice of Strategy “
This excellent collection of essays is recommended reading for all those who seek to understand strategy and its use. It should be read by those struggling to act effectively with armed force in our present circumstances, and by those who try to comprehend why it is apparently so difficult to do so. The essays show clearly the enduring need for strategy if one is to achieve ones purpose in the face of resistance. Now that we tend to act strategically in multinational groupings while policy remains with the state it is even more important to understand and act on these lessons. |s General Sir Rupert Smith, former Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Europe |d 18/07/2011
