An Introduction To War Theory

Synopsis

A Few Years Ago The Author, Chris Brown, Gave A Lecture To A Group Of Fifty Eminent Historians. He Asked Them Two Questions: Had They Ever Written About War? Of Course They All Had, History Is War. And How Many Had Read A Book About The Theory Of War? There Was A Resentful Silence. This Remarkable Admission Initiated The Writing Of An Introduction To War Theory. In The Same Vein, The Pre-eminent Military Historian Michael Howard, Having Lectured Young Army Officers At Sandhurst On The Italian Campaign Of 1942, Was Asked A Single Question By An Impatient Captain: Ok, But What Were Its Lessons?here Are Those Lessons, Distilled. This Book Is For The Reader Who Is Starting His Or Her Journey In War Theory – Students, Journalists, Junior Military Professionals – And Anyone With A General Interest Who Would Like To Know More About How Wars Actually Work.
