Abstract

It was a realization on the part of the staff that war is an integral part of society; that war is waged in accord with the dic­tates of the state; and that the conduct of war is subject to the capacities and limitations of civilian life. It was a realization also that to study war apart from the context of society is to misunderstand the very nature of war Itself.
