Description

From Thermopylae to Belfast, elite military formations have been deployed against conventional or irregular forces. This study offers an analysis of elites in military history. A collection of studies by distinguished scholars, it illuminates, through a combination of overview and case study, a historical subject that has profound implications for the development of specialised forces in the post-Cold War Era. The study uses a comparative approach which investigates the topic over time and across culture.
