The second edition has been fully revised and updated to take into account new debates and recent events in Syria, Iraq and Ukraine, and is restructured for improved usefulness as a teaching tool. With its accessible yet sophisticated discussion across land, sea, and air environments, Understanding Modern Warfare is an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of modern warfare.
