This textbook provides a thorough grounding in the vocabulary,
concepts, issues and debates associated with modern land warfare.
The second edition has been updated and revised, and includes new
chapters on non-western perspectives and hybrid warfare. Drawing on
a range of case studies spanning the First World War through to
contemporary conflicts in Syria, Ukraine, and Nagorno-Karabakh, the
book explores what is unique about the land domain and how this has
shaped the theory and practice of military operations conducted
upon it. It also looks at land warfare across the spectrum of its
conduct, including conventional campaigning, counterinsurgency, and
peace support and stabilisation operations. Key themes and debates
identified and analysed include: the tensions between change and
continuity; the role of technology in land warfare; the relevance
of culture and context; the difficulties in translating theory into
effective military practice; in-depth discussions on issues of
immediate contemporary significance, including hybrid warfare,
emerging military technologies, and the military reform processes
of the US, Russian, and Chinese land forces. This book will be
essential reading for military practitioners and for students of
land warfare, military history, war studies and strategic studies.
