How have the nature and technology of war changed in recent times? Why does victory on the battlefield often not lead to lasting peace? And how can we prevent, manage, and end future conflicts? The world is becoming increasingly dangerous: after the fall of Kabul and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the liberal international order is being undermined, replaced by a chaotic, multipolar system.
The authors of The Art of War and Peace explore the nature of modern conflicts: from large-scale state wars to local armed confrontations.
Drawing on their own experience in Afghanistan, Iraq, Colombia, Ukraine, Israel, and Africa, David Kilcullen and Greg Mills analyze how technology can level the playing field for small states in confronting large aggressors; how a viable narrative can be formed and maintained to secure public and international support; the balance between reliance on one's own forces and allied commitments, as well as the role of leadership, intelligence, diplomacy, and economic assistance.
