Synopsis
MAJOR-GENERAL M. K. JEFFERY Command, and mdeed the human in command, has always been key to milItary operations. The complexIty and tempo of modern operations make this statement even more true today than in the past. However, both the military and the research 2 communities have tended to treat command and control (C ) from a limited per spective. For too long, command and control have been considered as if they were a single concept, with control often dominatmg our study. Indeed, in many 2 cases we have divorced operational C from the military institution itself, resulting in disconnects and inefficiencies. Then, in an attempt to overcome these self-inflicted deficiencies, we have pursued the Holy Grail of technology, hoping that it 2 would solve our C problems. Only now, as we start to realize technology's costs 2 and limitations, are we looking critically at C • This book attempts to take such a look. The contributions that make up this book are the product of a June 1998 NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) workshop called The Human m Command. Far from being purely an academIc exercise, this gathenng brought together milI 2 tary leaders and civilian scientists to discuss C's central pragmatic and conceptual issues-its assumptions, its practices, and its organization. Indeed, in recent years there has been mounting evidence that both our society and Its military institutions are facing organizational crises.

Review
"The Human in Command represents an original and important contribution to the literature on command. For military practioners it should be required reading on senior command courses, but there is also much here for the non-military reader. Commanders in emergency services and other professions, as well as those conducting research into command and leadership, will find this to be a valuable reference and an excellent source of military material."
(Journal of Contingencies and Crisis Management, 9:2 (2001)

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Whether involved in disaster relief, peacekeeping operations, or war, militaries from all nations deal in the common currency of human conflict. And although technology has come a long way in assisting the resolution of some of these conflicts, inevitably human conflict requires human intervention. The purpose of this book is to explore and understand the implications of this human intervention and the ways that science can make it more effective. The book brings together experienced military leaders and researchers in the human sciences to offer current operational experience and scientific thought on the issue of military command, with the intention of raising awareness of the uniquely human aspects of military command. It includes chapters on the personal experiences of senior commanders, new concepts and treatises on command theory, and empirical findings from experimental studies in the field. 456 pp. Englisch.
