House traces the evolution of Combined Arms thinking and its subsequent development in force organisation from the late 19th century to late 20th century. Besides studying combined arms organisations and doctrines of land forces, he discusses lessons of these development as seen in campaigns and military operations including pre-World War I, WWI, the Interwar period, WWII, Korean War, Middle East wars, Vietnam War, Falklands War, Soviet-Afghan War and the 1991 Gulf War. House provides insights on technologies, doctrine and tactics in the various theatres and operations using excellent graphics and discussions from the military strategic to the lower tactical levels of war. He analyses issues such as C3, Fires, Mobility, Intelligence, AirLand Battle and Deep Operations. His discussion on post WWII Soviet, Israeli and the U.S. Development in force organisation and warfighting doctrine is immensely useful for the reader to understand the current states of militaries we see today.
