Learning the Lessons of Modern War by Thomas G Mahnken
This book explores the lessons of recent wars as a way to understand continuity and change in the conduct of war.
"A famous old military saying suggests that 'amateurs talk about tactics, armchair generals study strategy, but professionals study logistics' Studying lessons from modern warfare, the volume Learning the Lessons of Modern War, edited by Thomas G. Mahnken, challenges its readers to add a fourth component to this old saying, suggesting that counterinsurgency experts need to study politics."—Ori Swed, Contemporary Sociology
