Doing Less with Less: |
- The only way to avoid dodgy dossiers and dubious foreign adventures
is to acknowledge that the post-Cold War world is a far safer place than
neoconservative rhetoricians would have us believe. The Ministry of Defence
should reclaim its pre-Orwellian meaning and the armed forces should be
scaled back accordingly.
- 'Robinson's criticisms of the lack of logic within our current published defence policy need to be answered.' Tim Garden, RUSI Journal
- 'This pithy volume is a vigorous breath of fresh policy air.' Network Review
- 'The arguments in this thesis are important and should be acknowledged by the MOD and studied at the Joint Services Staff College.' Major General (Retd) Patrick Cordingley DSO.
- 'A valuable and rigorous piece of reasoning that demands a good airing.' John Gray, London School of Economics, author, Al Qaeda and What It Means to Be Modern.
- 'A thoughtful and interesting work that deserves attention.' Jeremy Black, University of Exeter, author, Rethinking Military History.
- 'To his credit, Robinson doesn't get hysterical about al Qaida and doesn't revert to hyperbole to make his point.' Phil Chamberlain, Tribune
- 'A good tract for doing less with militarism.' Edward P. Echlin, Fourth World Review
