Title: Military Realism Series: American Military Experience Author: Peter Campbell Narrator: Kevin Moriarty Format: mp3 Length: 14 hrs and 54 mins Release date: 06-18-20 Ratings: Not rated yet Genres: Military Science Publisher's Summary: In five case studies of US Army doctrine, Campbell pits military realism against bureaucratic and cultural perspectives in three key areas - nuclear versus conventional warfare, preferences for offense versus defense, and COIN missions - and finds that the army has been more doctrinally flexible than those perspectives would predict. He demonstrates that decision makers, while vowing in the wake of Vietnam to avoid (COIN) missions, nonetheless found themselves adapting to the geopolitical realities of fighting “low intensity” conflicts.
