Burke Ryan, Fowler Michael. Military Strategy, Joint Operations, and Airpower

Georgetown University Press, 2018. — 344 p. — ISBN: 1626166234.Military Strategy, Joint Operations, and Airpower will introduce readers to contemporary strategy and the operational level of war, particularly as it relates to airpower.This intermediate textbook was developed as required reading for all US Air Force Academy cadets, and is designed to close the gap between military theory and military practice. It asks readers to reconceive of the military as a "profession of effects" rather than as a profession of arms because much of the military's work and impact no longer involves kinetic warfare.
