Why do national armed forces differ in their cohesion, or will to fight? Why do some country's militaries fight hard when facing defeat, while others collapse? In this book the author presents cohesion theory to explain why national militaries differ in their staying power, building his argument on insights from the existing literature on military effectiveness and collective action.
