This seminal study draws directly on the authors'operational experiences in Sierra Leone, Northern Ireland, Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq, Lebanon and Afghanistan. Includes a chapter by behavioural scientist Dr. Lee Rowland and an introduction by the BBC Radio 4 \"More or Less\" presenter Tim Harford. The foreword is by former ISAF commander General (ret.) Stanley McChrystal. This book argues that future conflicts will be best resolved by focusing attention on altering the behaviours of others, either in advance - and therefore deterring conflict - or as a coupled component in the process of combat and post-combat operations. They also argue that Western Armies have learnt too many lessons the hard way and been found wanting too easily. \"Behavioural Conflct\" argues for a fundamental rethink of the way that the West's militaries are organised, educated, trained and deployed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steve Tatham, Andrew MacKay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1780394683\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781780394688\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Military Studies Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/04\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.46d","brand":"Steve Tatham","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43937967833343,"sku":"9781780394688","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_4b3f23a0-424b-4904-bd0d-7d06a3806e0d.jpg?v=1681432962","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/behavioural-conflict-steve-tatham-9781780394688","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
