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?

It is a fascinating read which gives renewed insights both into historical conflicts, and those we see today.
