Krátky popis
'A major book that will enlighten the layman and guide the
statesman or geopolitical student' DR. HENRY KISSINGERTwo leading
authorities - a bestselling historian and the outstanding
battlefield commander and strategist of our time - collaborate on a
landmark examination of war since 1945.Conflict is both a sweeping
history of the evolution of warfare up to Putin's invasion of
Ukraine, and a penetrating analysis of what we must learn from the
past, and anticipate in the future, in order to navigate an
increasingly perilous world.In this deep and incisive study,
General David Petraeus, the former CIA director who commanded the
US-led coalitions in both Iraq and Afghanistan, and the
prize-winning historian Andrew Roberts, explore over seventy years
of conflict, drawing significant lessons and insights from their
fresh analysis of the past. Petraeus and Roberts show how often
critical mistakes have been repeated time and again, and explore
the challenge, for statesmen and generals alike, of learning to
adapt to various new weapon systems, theories and strategies.Among
the conflicts examined are the Arab - Israeli wars, the Korean and
Vietnam wars, the two Gulf wars, the Balkan wars in the former
Yugoslavia, and both the Soviet and Coalition wars in Afghanistan,
as well as guerrilla conflicts in Africa and South America.Conflict
culminates with a bracing look at Putin's disastrous invasion of
Ukraine, yet another case study in the tragic results that occur
when leaders refuse to learn from history, and an assessment of the
nature of future warfare. Filled with sharp insight and the wisdom
of experience, Conflict is not only a critical assessment of our
recent past, but also an essential primer of modern warfare that
provides crucial knowledge for waging battle today as well as for
understanding what the decades ahead will bring.'This collaboration
between a famous general and a distinguished author is a marriage
made in heaven. The book's narrative is seamless, sustained by
comparative judgements, and calculated to challenge the
professional and enlighten the generalist' PROFESSOR SIR HEW
STRACHAN, Chichele Professor of History of War'Not since
Clausewitz' On War has a book provided so much insight into the
nature of warfare.Deeply researched, brilliantly constructed and
thoroughly entertaining, Conflict gets to the heart of why some
nations win and others lose during war. It is a book that will
shape the thinking of policy makers and military strategists for
generations to come' ADMIRAL WILLIAM H. MCRAVEN, US Navy ( Ret .),
former Commander of US Special Operations Command
