A grim, but fascinating story of the world's armies from the end of WW11, their development and progress, their objectives and performance, strategies and politics.

The book explores in particular the interaction and integration of new technologies with military tactics and strategies throughout a period both stabile and volatile - the nuclear arsenal created an uneasy East-West stalemate, while the former colonies of the great powers saw intense and often violent upheaval. During this time, armies have had to cope with changing weapons systems, new enemies and shifting political situations.

The information is organised into five historical 'snap-shots' each of about a decade, which examine the history and development of the armies country by country.  Assessment on performance is made.  World-wide trends identified.  The increased technological growth and sophistication of the world's armies and the computerisation of warfare is explored to how this will effect the military strategy for the future. 

This is an invaluable study for the army officer, defence strategist, historian and informed enthusiast alike.
