However, such questions are often drowned in ferocious meta-doctrinal disagreements. What\u003ci\u003e is\u003c\/i\u003e a doctrine, after all?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book provides a theoretical understanding of such questions. Divided into three parts, the author investigates the historical roots of military doctrine and explores its growth and expansion until the present day, and goes on to analyse the main characteristics of a military doctrine. Using a multidisciplinary approach, the book concludes that doctrine can be utilized in three key ways: as a tool of command, as a tool of change, and as a tool of education.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book will be of much interest to students of military studies, civil-military relations, strategic studies, and war studies, as well as to students in professional military education.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Harald Hoiback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138477974\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138477971\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/12\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 0.60d","brand":"Harald Hoiback","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44213069644031,"sku":"9781138477971","price":56.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dc9560f0-13a4-41a2-8f83-9175657af769.jpg?v=1692111896","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/understanding-military-doctrine-harald-hoiback-9781138477971","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
