Modern Military Geography by Francis Galgano
This book of contributed chapters by subject matter expertly provides an overview and analysis of salient contemporary and historical military subjects from the military geographer’s perspective. Factors of geography have had a compelling influence on battles and campaigns throughout history; however, geography and military affairs have gained heightened attention during the past two decades, and military geography is the discipline best situated to explain them. Hence, the premise of this book and its contents are founded on the principle that geographical knowledge of space, place, people, and scale provide essential insights into contemporary security issues and promotes the idea that such insight is critical to understanding and managing significant military problems at local, regional, and global scales."A new generation of warrior-geographers have revisited the vital topic of military geography and produced a comprehensive and insightful overview of this sub-field of geographyThis book will guide the reader to a new and deeper understanding of how the geographical perspective adds analytical value across the entire spectrum of military affairs."—Francis H. Dillon, Geography, George Mason University
"I have been waiting for a book like this for years! I am pleased that there is "Military 101" for geographers AND "Geography 101" for military personnel. This fills in knowledge gaps for those needing information and will offer a review for those who already have a knowledge base (in either geography or military operations)." –L. Jean Palmer-Moloney, Chair of the Association of American Geographers' Military Geography Specialty Group
