UPDATED WITH TWO NEW CHAPTERS 'One of the most provocative and
startling books ever written by a British commander ... an update
of the two great thinkers on war and peace, Clausewitz and Sun Tsu,
for our time ... it is for anyone interested in the well-being of
our world' Robert Fox, Evening Standard Why do we try to use
military force to solve our political problems? And why, when our
forces win the military battles does this still fail to solve those
problems? It is because the force lacks utility. From Iraq to the
Balkans, and from Afghanistan to Chechneya, over the past fifteen
years there has been a steady stream of military interventions that
have not delivered on their promise for peace, or even political
resolution. The Utility of Force explains this anomaly at the heart
of our current international system. 'Britain's outstanding soldier
of modern times ... a book that will assure his reputation as a
serious and original thinker among soldiers and strategists' Sir
John Keegan, Daily Telegraph 'It is hard to overstate the
devastating nature of this book as an indictment of almost
everything the West has done in recent years, and is doing today'
Sir Max Hastings, Sunday Telegraph
