How to Fight a War

Abstract

Unfortunately, the book contains several errors in word usage which detract from its professional presentation. Some – such as the use of the Soviet term ‘operational art’ rather than the Western term ‘operational strategy’ – reduce the accuracy and clarity of the text. The book is interesting for its analyses of the differing approaches to warfare of commanders and their reasons for differing. It certainly contributes to the education of all readers, especially prospective military commanders. n
