Description

The Human Face of War by Jim Storr explores the complexities of military thought, revealing that much of it is poorly developed and often incoherent. Storr argues that a new approach is needed to understand the nature of combat, which is primarily a human phenomenon dominated by human behaviour. The book examines the reasons behind the varying effectiveness of military personnel, such as tank commanders, snipers, and fighter pilots, and why some generals are sacked at the outbreak of war. Storr seeks to explain these phenomena and calls for a new way of considering war and warfare. By exploring the human issues and their practical consequences, The Human Face of War offers a fresh perspective on the subject, one that reflects the need for a more nuanced and thoughtful approach to military thought.
