Edited by the late Giuseppe Caforio, formerly Vice-president of the Interuniversity Centre of Historical and Military Studies, Italy

'This is one good compendium of military sociology . . . This book would be very useful for the committee members of the next pay commission, besides those interested in a psychological and militaristic analysis of the vast subject of military sociology - from the human to the economic and market trends.'
