Why read it?
1 author picked War and Power as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Why did so many 'experts' confidently predict Russia would overwhelm Ukraine in days? Are battles decisive? Why did people think the First World War (and many others) would be over by Christmas? A Professor of Strategic Studies, O'Brien challenges shallow thinking about what determines the outcome of war, focussing on a series of historical examples to illustrate his conclusions. It is a fascinating read which gives renewed insights both into historical conflicts, and those we see today.
