Stephen Biddle is Senior Fellow in Defense Policy at the Council on Foreign Relations. He has published extensively in defense policy and international relations, and he has held teaching and research positions in both academic political science and official defense policy analysis.
In war, do mass and materiel matter most? Will states with the largest, best equipped, information-technology-rich militaries invariably win? The prevailing answer today among both scholars and policymakers is yes. But this is to overlook force employment, or the doctrine and tactics by which materiel is actually used. In a landmark reconception of battle and war, this book provides a systematic account of how force employment interacts with materiel to produce real combat outcomes. Stephen Biddle argues that force employment is central to modern war, becoming increasingly important since 1900 as the key to surviving ever more lethal weaponry. Technological change produces opposite effects depending on how forces are employed; to focus only on materiel is thus to risk major error - with serious consequences for both policy and scholarship. In clear, fluent prose, Biddle provides a systematic account of force employment's role and shows how this account holds up under rigorous, multimethod testing. The results challenge a wide variety of standard views, from current expectations for a revolution in military affairs to mainstream scholarship in international relations and orthodox interpretations of modern military history. "Military Power" will have a resounding impact on both scholarship in the field and on policy debates over the future of warfare, the size of the military, and the makeup of the defense budget.

評分四大名著唯有三國看不下去的我,想不到有天不得不抱著軍事論文啃?各種武器名稱看不懂,雲裏霧裏。軍事就應該給男人拿去吹牛逼,彆罵我不性彆平等。 至於中心內容,作者洋洋灑灑論述瞭一本書,為什麼我沒有看到新意,單純武器升級不代錶軍事實力提升,對現有軍事力量的調度更能打贏戰爭,這事我們老祖宗的“以少勝多以弱勝強”早講過瞭嘛。皿煮國傢容易打勝仗又是個啥論調,皿煮國的理論學傢們早有“民主和平”理論在瞭。總之沒看齣什麼瞭不起的內容,倒是語言難得的通順,結構難得的清晰,簡直是優秀論文範本。
