Martin, Mike How to Fight a War. Wie man Krieg führt

Has a war ever gone according to plan? Leaders, be they monarchs, dictators or elected heads of state, have an abysmal record of military decision-making, ranging from over-ambitious objectives to neglecting intelligence, terrain and the capabilities of the enemy.

In "How to fight a War", experienced conflict researcher Mike Martin guides his readers through the strategic logic of a coherent interstate war that serves to solve geopolitical problems and reduce future conflicts. Objectively and based on precise analyses, the former army officer outlines how to coordinate various military forces - from infantry to information gathering and from strategic planning to tactical implementation. The result is an indispensable handbook for a clear understanding of modern warfare, which explains the complex basic principles of war and warfare in a contemporary and easily understandable way. The bestseller from England is not only dedicated to the art of war using classic examples from the world wars and the recent Ukraine war, but also to the craft of war that has developed over the course of civilisations.
