خرید و دانلود نسخه کامل کتاب Military Strategy, Joint Operations, and Airpower 2nd Edition

An essential introduction to contemporary strategy at the operational level of war, now in its second edition

Military Strategy, Joint Operations, and Airpower introduces contemporary strategy at the operational level of war,  particularly as it relates to airpower. Developed as foundational  reading for all US Air Force Academy cadets, Air Force ROTC students,  and Officer Training School candidates, this intermediate textbook is  designed to close the gap between military theory and practice. It  covers strategic foundations; operational design and joint-service  operations; the air, space, and cyber capabilities that comprise modern  airpower; and contemporary challenges in the application of strategy.

In  this second edition, each chapter has been updated and revised, and  several sections have been expanded. Part 2, “Military Forces and the  Joint Fight,” now features separate chapters about each service.  Similarly, operational design is expanded from one to four chapters to  provide a more thorough step-by-step guide through the process. New  chapters in this second edition include “Integrating the Instruments of  Power,” “The Spectrum of Conflict and Range of Military Operations,” and  “The Nuclear Weapons Triad and Missile Defense.”

Military Strategy, Joint Operations, and Airpower’s  contributing authors and editors include both military practitioners  and scholars of security studies, political science, and history. In  addition to being required reading for US Air Force cadets, the book  provides an essential overview of strategy and practice for anyone  interested in modern airpower.
