"A welcome mingling of the traditions of quantitative and
qualitative political science. He sets a rigorous and imaginative
methodological standard that others will struggle to
match."---Lawrence D. Freedman, Foreign Affairs
"An inviting and challenging read, one that necessitates and
rewards thoughtful investment."---Dr. Larry D. Miller, National
Defense University Press
"An extraordinary achievement, providing new ideas about the
non-material determinants of battlefield performance, and
presenting compelling quantitative and qualitative evidence. It
will no doubt shape research agendas on war for many years to
come."
*Journal of Peace Research*
"The book provides the theoretical basis for an intuitively grasped
characteristic of armed forces around the world today and through
history. Its argument should inform future policymaking, as well
serve as a basis to re-examine past wars."---Axel Dessein, Wavell
Room
"A major contribution to any literature that seeks to understand
military design or behavior. . . . [Lyall’s] valuable empirical
work and data collection - and clear methodology - will provide
numerous avenues for further research to anyone with an interest in
civil-military relations and conflict.—Max Margulies, Political
Science Quarterly"
