The Last Legions
Copley, Gregory R.
Defense & Foreign Affairs Strategic Policy, 2010, v38, #3, pp13-16
"The nature of warfare is changing, even as we dwell on (and invest in) major defense programs which owe their origins to the strategic and military thinking of eras now fading or past. The framework, however, is increasingly complex, and more tied to a total social context than ever before. The craft of soldiering and power has moved decisively beyond the formal military equation and has become - as this author has said repeatedly for some years - a "whole of society" affair. That does not mean that history has no lessons for us. On the contrary, the lessons and progressions of history are more critical now than ever in understanding the future."
Gregory R. Copley is an editor at Defense & Foreign Affairs Strategic Policy.
