Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Hardcover. "The fox knows many things; the hedgehog knows one big thing. For four decades, Western military doctrine has been a hedgehog convinced that the operational level of war is a timeless necessity. It is not. It is a Cold War construct whose usefulness has expired, and the bureaucratic overhead of that conviction is now costing Western armies dearly.The Ghost in the Machine challenges this deeply embedded assumption. It exposes how sequentially layered command architectures leave Western forces unable to generate the simultaneous, multi-theatre, cross-domain dilemmas that decisive operational advantage now demands. Ultimately, it asks whether NATO's command architecture, its eastern and southern flank policy, and the uncritical embrace of artificial intelligence in the decision cycle are quietly displacing the one thing no headquarters tier can manufacture: operational art. The ghost in the machine is not the algorithm, the drone swarm, or the AI-augmented headquarters. It is something older and stranger.Blending military history, Clausewitzian theory, quantum epistemology, and lessons drawn from five centuries of Roman strategy to the battlefields of Ukraine, this is a work of unusual range. Readers will find in it the depth of military history and the forward edge of strategic philosophy arguments about uncertainty, judgment, and the human dimensions of command that reach well beyond doctrine.Ranging from Napoleon and Schlieffen to Scipio, Nelson, and the war in Ukraine, The Ghost in the Machine demonstrates that victory has never depended on bureaucratic structures, but on educated commanders empowered to think, adapt, and act under conditions no doctrine can fully predict.Provocative, historically rigorous, and strategically ambitious essential reading for military professionals, policymakers, historians, scholars, and anyone seeking to understand how armies must evolve to prevail in the wars of the twenty-first century." The fox knows many things; the hedgehog knows one big thing. For four decades, Western military doctrine has been a hedgehog convinced that the operational level of war is a timeless necessity. It is not. It is a Cold War construct whose usefulness has expired, and the bureaucratic overhead of that conviction is now costing Western armies dearly. This item is printed on demand.
