Modern War Studies from the University of Kansas press is well regarded series. The book is chock full of insight but could have used a better editor. It wavers between a narrative, a case study, and a chronology. An approachable book for professionals as well as general interest readers.
Historical study of the development of combined arms warfare in the recent past. Well written and an easy read, the thesis is as simple as it is obvious - if you are better at combining military systems in a complementary manner, the more likely you will destroy your enemy - just like archers, cavalry, and infantry in the days of antiquity. In short, nothing new.
