Description: "In the twenty-first century, when the challenge of asymmetric war and terrorism has overtaken conventional conflict as the primary threat, it is timely to question the continuing utility and validity of doctrine. The Relevance of Doctrine in the Contemporary Military Environment postulates that the age of doctrine is coming to an end and suggests that military organisations should seek other more suitable mechanisms with which to guide themselves through the challenges of the future."--Provided by publisher.
