Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on the learning processes of military organizations, the book analyzes how armies adapt during unexpected conflicts. By comparing counterinsurgency strategies from the Malayan Emergency and the Vietnam War, it highlights the significance of organizational culture in achieving success or failure in military adaptation. Through archival research and interviews with veterans, the author emphasizes the lessons learned from past conflicts and critiques the tendency of armies to prepare for previous wars rather than current realities.
