It suggests that two very different phenomena have been at work over the past centuries: "military revolutions, " which are driven by vast social and political changes, and "revolutions in military affairs, " which military institutions have directed, although usually with great difficulty and ambiguous results. MacGregor Knox and Williamson Murray provide a conceptual framework and historical context for understanding the patterns of change, innovation, and adaptation that have marked war in the Western world since the fourteenth century
