This book is a comprehensive work of military theory that makes for essential ready for every officer. It is a call for speed and strength in military action. Simpkin goes to great lengths to examine political/home-front issues, logistics, and military hierarchy. Ultimately, through, all these serve as supporting evidence for his core argument: that the current heavy mechanized divisions of today are too slow in light of the incredible increase in available firepower on the modern battlefield.
The book is incredibly pertinent in the emerging era of the asymmetrical warfare, where threats emerge faster that we can expect and in a wide variety of terrain.
