Military Realism. The Logic and Limits of Force and Innovation in the U.S. Army, Paperback/Peter Campbell

In five case studies of US Army doctrine, Peter Campbell pits military realism against bureaucratic and cultural perspectives in three key areas - nuclear versus conventional warfare, preferences for offense versus defense, and COIN missions - and finds that the army has been more doctrinally flexible than those perspectives would predict.
