Small mark on the cover. A survey of 20th century tactics, doctrine and organization. The combined arms concept is the basic idea that different arms and weapons systems must be used in concert to maximise the survival and combat effectiveness of each other. The author traces some recurring themes in the British, French, German, Soviet and United States armies. He regards the study as an overview rather than an exhaustive analysis.

A study of Peace settlements and conflict in the modern age. Many of the major wars of the twentieth century emerged from the ruins of previous treaties. French hostility to the 1871 Treaty of Frankfurt contributed to the climate that culminated in the First World War and then German resentment of the Treaty of Versailles created the conditions for Hitler's rise to power. Likewise the Cold War had its roots in the outcome of the Russo-German struggles of 1914-17 and 1941-5. Post 1945 conflicts such as Korea, The Middle East and Indochina all originated in failed peace settlements

In the 1960s the world was gripped by fear of nuclear holocaust. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, the threat was assumed to have gone away. But Iran, North Korea and others are building weapons of mass destruction, nuclear, biological and chemical, and terrorists are trying to get their hands on them too. Russia has enough weapons grade plutonium in poorly guarded facilities to make 20,000 atomic bombs. Chemical weapons remain the 'poor man's nuke'. Saddam believed his chemical weapons saved him in the first Gulf War, and Islamic fundamentalists have been preparing to use Ricin for mass poisoning in London. A Japanese doomsday cult used sarin nerve gas on the Tokyo underground.
