"Anyone who wants to know why war comes about, how it is fought, and what it does to those involved cannot ignore this excellently written book by one of Europe's leading military analysts and military historians. A standard work." – Carlo Masala
The wars in Ukraine and the Middle East are a symptom of a shift that has been brewing for decades: military confrontation is increasingly seen as a legitimate means of continuing politics. Starting from this moment, but also taking previous conflicts into account, Franz-Stefan Gady analyzes the constant nature of war and the changing character of warfare. He describes why wars are increasingly likely in the near future, why humans will always be at the center of warfare despite all technological dimensions, and how we can prepare for future conflicts—if we cannot prevent them.
"A book for anyone who wants to deal with a difficult topic objectively and calmly. Gady achieves the rare art of explaining and being entertaining at the same time." – Florence Gaub, Research Director of the NATO Defence Academy
