What are the independent variables that determine success in war?
Drawing on 40 years of studying and teaching war, political
scientist Christian P. Potholm presents a 'template of Mars, '
seven variables that have served as predictors of military success
over time and across cultures. In Winning at War, Potholm explains
these variables technology, sustained ruthlessness, discipline,
receptivity to innovation, protection of military capital from
civilians and rulers, will, and the belief that there will always
be another war and provides case studies of their implementation,
from ancient battles to today
