Description
War by Numbers: Understanding Conventional Combat This book assesses the nature of conventional warfare through the analysis of historical combat, moving beyond the work of Carl von Clausewitz to modern data and interpretation. By examining various factors, including force ratios, the human factor, situational awareness, and dispersion, Christopher A. Lawrence challenges existing interpretations of conventional warfare and offers insights into how such combat should be conducted in the future. Lawrence's analysis draws on vast data sets to shed new light on the complexities of conventional combat. The result is a nuanced understanding of the nature of war, one that is grounded in empirical evidence and rigorous analysis. This book is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand the nature of conventional warfare and its implications for modern military strategy.
