The Profession Of Arms - General Sir John Hackett

What is the military profession? How did it come into being and how has it developed? What is the

professional man-at-arms, a man dedicated to fighting or a guardian of peace?  What role does he

play in a world where superpowers confront each other with weapons of mass destruction?  What role

ought he to play?  Indeed is he necessary at all? General Sir John Hackett addresses these and many

other questions in this book.
