Olsen John A., Creveld Martin van. The Evolution of Operational Art. From Napoleon to the Present

Oxford University Press, 2011. — 288 p.This book project, initiated and sponsored by the Swedish National Defence College’s Department of Military Studies, began in the summer of 2008 with the objective of producing a one-volume anthology that would focus on the essence and development of operational art, with equal attention to theory, practice, and utility. The book would be intended primarily for specialists—military professionals, ‘officer-scholars’, and postgraduate students—but at the same time be of interest to readers with a generalist’s interest in military history, strategy, and operations.
