Fighting power
Book • 1982
Martin van Creveld's "Fighting Power" offers a groundbreaking analysis of military personnel systems and their crucial role in determining combat effectiveness.
The book challenges conventional wisdom by focusing on the human element of warfare, arguing that effective personnel management is as important as technological superiority.
Creveld compares and contrasts the personnel systems of different armies, notably the US and German armies during World War II, to illustrate his points.
His insights into the dynamics of unit cohesion, training, and leadership have had a lasting impact on military thinking.
The book remains a valuable resource for understanding the complex interplay between human factors and military success.
