| Summary |
"The beautiful picture of brothers in arms vanquishing a tyrant. The power of a well-orchestrated army and navy winning historic battles. Overwhelming military might and ability through teamwork. That's the image the U.S. military services portray to the public and tell themselves throughout their official doctrine. But perhaps there is a fatal flaw in that armor. Often, the services think more about their own turf than about the overarching objective of national security and maintaining an advantage against the United States' external enemies. In The Collaborative Fight, Paul Birch and Lina Svedin examine case studies from the late nineteenth century into the twenty-first century and draw actionable conclusions for practitioners in the defense establishment"-- Provided by publisher. |
