Book Review: Democratic Civil–Military Relations: Soldiering in the 21st Century

always pronounced in the text. The last chapter ‘‘The Search for Shared Responsibility’’ summarizes its characteristic features in each of the four countries. However, a more general summary that encompasses all of the countries and shows the continuum of shared responsibility patterns could probably maximize the benefits of the arduous research work done by the author. The book it truly an invaluable and rare source of information on shared responsibility in the United States, Canada, Germany, and Russia, which has been obtained from a vast number or sources, including interviews with civilian and military experts, books, articles, and internet sources in English, Russian, and German. To sum up, the book Civil-Military Relations and Shared Responsibility: A four-nation Study by Dale R. Herspring is an ingenious in-depth analysis of shared responsibility in various cultural and historical contexts. The author reasonably expects it to stimulate similar research, because the book highlights a new fruitful research route. Moreover, its particular advantage is that it enables a reader to see civil–military relationship from the perspective of military culture, thus helping bridge the gap between the military and civilians. All that makes this book a must read for both experienced scholars seeking a new perspective on civil–military relations and students who are just beginning to explore the topic.
