Cohen, Eliot A.1990
Books, Manuscripts
The authors address one of the most intriguing questions of war-fighting¿́¿how do well-trained, professional and technologically advanced armies sometimes fail against a lesser opponent? Relying on a number of case studies, Cohen and Gooch highlight the effects of bureaucratic malaise and institutional culture on a force¿́¿s ability to anticipate, react and learn. The capacity to fail, they conclude, lurks within even the best military organisations..-- Australian Chief of Army's Reading List 2007 for Warrant Officer
