Millett: Books Review: Very interesting look at military tactics between the wars - This is a book that looks at a variety of important tactics between the wars. It also looks at the militaries that were involved with those tactics development. It also takes a look at how militaries innovate and why some succeed and others fail. It is a just read for any WW 2 fan. Any one in the military who works with change would get a lot out of the book. Also anyone working in a bureaucracy would also like it. It is very interesting from many perspectives: military, history, innovation, or how to affect change. Review: Great Read, in-depth study - This book was written as a study to draw attention to the decisions at the various levels of warfare (tactical, operational, and strategic) that led to success and failure of those countries involved in WWII. Before reading this book I would watch WWII movies wondering why certain tactics were not being utilized. Well, this book answers many of those questions and a whole lot more. Great Read, in-depth study, and well researched as it provides invaluable incite of how innovation influenced operations on land, in the air, and at sea. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #182,545 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #109 in History of Technology #174 in National & International Security (Books) #3,746 in World History (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (240) | | Dimensions | 5.99 x 1 x 9.02 inches | | Edition | Revised ed. | | ISBN-10 | 0521637600 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0521637602 | | Item Weight | 1.35 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 428 pages | | Publication date | August 13, 1998 | | Publisher | Cambridge University Press | ## Images ![Military Innovation in the Interwar Period - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61kQT1WrfgL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very interesting look at military tactics between the wars *by R***R on January 6, 2014* This is a book that looks at a variety of important tactics between the wars.

Murray and Allan R. Millett is a very interesting little book covering a variety of technical and doctrinal innovations that were pivotal in how WWII was fought. The book is essentially a series of essays, each of which forms a chapter of the book and provides a detailed analysis of one technical or doctrinal issue. Doctrinal topics addressed include: Armored Warfare, Amphibious Assault, Strategic Bombing, Close Air Support. Technical issues of RADAR, Aircraft Carriers and Submarines are also examined. Finally three essays on innovation in general tie the book together thematically. Each of the essays is written by a historian and each provides a very thorough but concise examination of its topic. I was particularly impressed with the chapter on Aircraft Carriers and the one on RADAR. The Aircraft Carrier chapter examined the parallel development tracks of the USN, the RN and the IJN. The thesis of the chapter is that the different development path taken by the RN (heavily armored flight/hanger decks which resulted in restrictions on the number of aircraft the carrier could operate) while influenced by the expectation that British Carriers would operate within the range of land based air, was primarily driven by the fact that the formation of the RAF toward the end of WWI, stripped the fleet of "air enthusiasts". Once all of the air minded naval officers transferred to the nascent RAF, there was no one left in the fleet thinking about carriers as major weapons systems in their own right. Instead the carriers were relegated to scouting and air defense roles. Similarly, the RADAR essay Illustrates how the Germans started with a substantial lead in RADAR technology, but lost it when they failed to undertake the technical research necessary to perfect centemetric RADAR. All in all, this was a very interesting book on a series of topics that were vitally important to WWII. However, it is a bit dry and the topics are highly technical and fairly esoteric. Although I enjoyed it, you have been warned. ## Frequently Bought Together - Military Innovation in the Interwar Period - The Dynamics of Military Revolution, 1300-2050 - Makers of Modern Strategy from Machiavelli to the Nuclear Age --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/10610243-military-innovation-in-the-interwar-period](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/10610243-military-innovation-in-the-interwar-period) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
