The Art of Air Power

Sanu Kainikara

4.9/5 (21211 ratings)

Description:Two thousand years ago, Chinese warrior-philosopher Sun Tzu compiled his classic book popularly known as The Art of War to better understand how organisations can (or should) operate in times of conflict. Now, a modern writer on strategy has re-interpreted the great Master’s treatise, to redefine elements of thinking relevant to a world where military strategy has to take into account an aerial dimension—something that was not even a dream when Sun Tzu was writing. In The Art of Air Power, Sanu Kainikara, a former Indian Air Force fighter pilot who has been working as an air strategist for the RAAF for the past five years, re-examines Sun Tzu’s terse, often aphoristic statements. Using a large number of currently available translations, commentaries and reviews, he has made a detailed study of the old paradigms in a contemporary context, while considering the changed nature of security and conflict in the 21st century. Sun Tzu’s thinking is only the starting point for Dr Kainikara’s text, which seeks to build on universal truths about the application of military power that transcend time and operating dimensions. Dr Kainikara also updates the old philosophy—of achieving invincibility on the battlefield, triumph without physical battle, and unassailable strength of the nation, through observation, calculation and a clear understanding of politics, psychology and doctrine of conflict—all in a way aimed to be more readily comprehensible to readers with an interest in military strategy.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
