Title: The importance of utility: understanding force in the modern world
Product review: This is an excellent insight into the pragmatic utility of the force that is used all over the world by countless actors. The theoretical framework of Smith's approach to the application of force and the implications of applying force to various types of situations is enlightening and instantly appealing. Smith encourages the reader to engage with ideas of the use of force that depart from the norm by providing real life experience and examples to underscore the utility that is the central thematic premise of the book. Great for military and non-military readers alike. Especially recommended to academics and security studies students who are seeking a constructivist examination of force and its ultimate purpose in the contemporary security environment.
