The Best Mil Geog Book Available

SCOPE is more than a fantastic contribution to the growing list of military geography books; it is simply the best text available! SCOPE is leaps and bounds better than the Collins text. The approach of the authors is easily accessible. The combination of military history and military geography went over very well with my students who were mostly aspiring historians. Thanks to this text my students finished the semester with an understanding of how geography impacts military events and planning. I look forward to using this text in future classes and as a desk reference for myself.

The Scope of Military Geography

A fresh approach to the study of Military Geography. Palka and Galgano truly understand the impact of geographic information on the conduct of military operations! Moreover, they clearly appreciate the changing nature of conflict and as a result have addressed the effect of geographic conditions across the full spectrum of military operations. From peacekeeping to small scale contingencies to all out war, they precisely address the range of geographic challenges encountered by military commanders in the past and the anticipated challenges of the future. The vignettes address key issues that the military leader must understand to make timely and accurate decisions.Overall, this book is essential reading for the military leader and a must add to his professional library. Although this is a great military book, the geographic community and public in general would most certainly enjoy looking at classic military operations through a geographic lens. Additionally, all will benefit from the information presented as the traditional lines between peace and war continue to blur.

This is a Must Read

This is an essential book, for professional stewards and for students of our national and international responsibilities. It focuses our attention to the fundamentals of our current and forward conditions, all of which geography determines.If we would understand the inner meaning of anything, we will start with the view of it by Military Geography -- and this book challenges us to achieve accurate, active understanding.I think that students, no later than their twelfth year, should be offered this book for their basic development. For professionals in all fields it is an essential tool. The authors are top professionals, professors at our United States Military Academy, the world's premier institution for leader development.
