Inhaltsangabe

certainly the most important work of military theory in recent years.
foriegn Affairs Mar/Apr 1998
RUSI Journal - October 1998 - Reviewed By Lieutenant General Scott Grant
"it is perhaps not surprising that Shimon Navez, in his book In Pursuit of
Military Excellence, considers the evolution of the operational theory of
warfare with such a rare combination of intellectual rigour and military
expertise."
"..he has, in my opinion, written an important book.."
"..quality of his analysis nor the deepth of his research.."
"Suffice to say that this is a very good book indeed: it should be required
reading for every serious soldier."
Cambridge Review of International Affairs - Reviewed by Andrew Coller
"Shimon Naveh"s book is both readable and a valuable exposition of the
Russian experience and thought which, even now, remains difficult for
Western readers to access easily. It also provides clear insight into the
mistakes of the past through a critique of commanders who have held blindly
to a philosophy of war that was grounded in a mistaken assumption about how
to achieve a strategic aim - the battle of destruction. His book is neither
too technical nor too simplistic and provides the reader with an
interesting view on how today"s modern Western military doctrine has
evolved and has been implemented."
SLAVIC REVIEW
"It is therefore in his explicit and thorough application of systems theory
to military theory that the work derives msuch of its novelty."
Journal of Military History- mixed review- see file " It is potentially
important, carefully researched, and frequently insightful; but it is also
distinctly biased, unsoundly argued, and maddeningly composed
