Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. A revelatory, explosive new analysis of the military today. Over the first two decades of the twenty-first century, Western militaries changed enormously. Multi-year campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan had a considerable financial and human cost. Yet neither war achieved its objectives. This…book questions why, and provides challenging but necessary answers. Composed from assiduous research including hundreds of interviews, The Changing of the Guard is a strikingly rich, nuanced portrait of a military institution in a time of great stress. It is informed by conversations with soldiers who served in the British Army, and the politicians who directed them, as well as interviews with members of the US military and other allies who accompanied them, and the family members who loved and--on occasion--lost them. Award-winning journalist Simon Akam, who spent a year in the British Army when he was 18, returned a decade later to see how the institution had changed. His book examines the relevance of the armed forces today--their social, economic, political, and cultural role. This is as much a book about the politics of failure, as it is about the military. A revelatory, explosive new analysis of the military today. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A revelatory, explosive new analysis of the British military today-and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. A must-read for anyone interested in these wars.Over the first two decades of the 21st century, the British Army fought two campaigns, in Iraq and Afghanistan, at enormous financial and consid…erable human cost. Neither of those wars achieved their objectives. The Changing of the Guard examines how the British Army faced the challenges of 21st-century warfare. Necessarily, the book spends much of its time in Iraq and Afghanistan, interrogating many of the decisions, strategies, and initiatives undertaken in those two asymmetrical conflicts. But its canvas is wider, from grim barracks in Germany and vast prairie training areas in Canada to reflections of the army in popular culture, stage, and film. It is as much a book about Britain, and about the politics of failure, as it is about the military.Composed of assiduous documentary research, field reportage and hundreds of frank interviews with many soldiers and officers who served, the politicians who directed them, the allies who accompanied them, and the family members who loved and-on occasion-lost them, The Changing of the Guard offers a strikingly rich, nuanced portrait of the British armed forces.
