Conventional Warfare in the Nuclear Age

<p>This book first published in 1965 examines the doctrine for fighting a conventional war against a nuclear power. Troops must be deployed as if they were fighting a nuclear war: dispersed over a greatly extended battlefield conducting mobile operations with no fixed front line or static defence system or defence zone. A new strategy of forward defence is needed whereby significant numbers of troops are dispatched into the enemy’s rear and this book lays out such a strategy and thereby sets a proposal for the future safety of Western Europe.</p>
