| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Following his retirement from the British Army, marked by a valedictory lecture at RUSI in November 2011, Mungo Melvin continues to reflect on the political-military relationship in the making of British strategy. He argues that successful strategy can only be achieved through the responsible exercise of political primacy, based on politically aware - never partisan - professionally robust military advice. |
