'War is the most important thing in the world', writes Martin van
Creveld, one of the world's best-known experts on military history
and strategy. The survival of every country, government, and
individual is ultimately dependent on war - or the ability to wage
it in self-defence. That is why, though it may come but once in a
hundred years, it must be prepared for every day. When it is too
late-when the bodies lie stiff and people weep over them-those in
charge have failed in their duty. Nevertheless, in spite of the
centrality of war to human history and culture, there has for long
been no modern attempt to provide a replacement for the classics on
war and strategy, Sun Tzu's The Art of War, dating from the 5th or
6th century BC, and Carl von Clausewitz's On War, written in the
aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars. What is needed is a modern,
comprehensive, easy to read and understand theory of war for the
21st century that could serve as a replacement for these classic
texts. The purpose of the present book is to provide just such a
theory.
