'Overall, the book is well structured, comprehensible and certainly succeeds in opening the “black box” of change... The volume is suited for an audience that already has a background in IR or Strategic Studies or is familiar with defence studies and wants to gain deeper insight into contemporary military organisations and their recent transformations.'--Karolina Muti, University of Bologna, The International Spectator
