A book that is required reading for anyone interested in warfare in the 20th century-years which have seen radical changes in the way wars are both planned and fought. Limited-scale warfare has become central to modern military planning, and this book charts the ever-growing sophistication of the role played by what we now know as the Rapid Deployment Force (RDF) concept, through the description of over 30 operations dating back to the Mexican-American War and World War I.
Among the campaigns covered are:
- The Khyber Pass, 1919-22
- The Fall of Cassino, 1943-44
- The Anzio Bridgehead, 1944
- The Inchon Landings, 1950
- Dien Bien Phu, 1954
- Khe Sanh, 1968
- Kabul, 1979
- Mount Tumbledown, 1982
- Operation Just Cause, 1989
- Operation Desert Storm, 1991
With the emphasis in military planning today so much on equipping and training for rapid deployment in a limited warfare context, Mark Lloyd's book has a particular relevance, which can only add to its interest as a survey of some of the most enthralling, heroic, and sometimes misconceived episodes of 20th-century history.
