Description
The Twenty-First-Century General: A Study of Military Command in the Modern Era. In recent years, military decision-making has faced intense scrutiny, with generals facing sustained public criticism. This shift has led to a re-evaluation of traditional command structures and the way decisions are made on the battlefield. In this book, Anthony King examines the transformation of military command in the twenty-first century, focusing on the army division. King argues that a new phenomenon is emerging: collective command, where decision-making becomes increasingly professionalised and collaborative. Through interviews with leading generals and ethnographic analysis of divisional headquarters, King provides a unique insight into this transformation. By exploring the changing nature of military command, this book offers a nuanced understanding of the challenges faced by modern armies. This study sheds light on the evolution of military leadership in the modern era, providing valuable insights for those interested in military history, strategy, and international relations.
