Beschreibung
Understanding Modern Warfare has established itself as the leading introduction to the issues, ideas, concepts and context necessary to understand the theory and conduct of warfare in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. It is an invaluable text for military professionals and students of military history. Key features include: incisive coverage of the debates surrounding contemporary and future warfare; accessible, yet sophisticated, discussion across the land, sea, and air environments; and coverage of contemporary topics such as drones, cyber warfare, and hybrid warfare. The book makes extensive use of text boxes to explain key concepts and to reference extended examples; annotated guides to further reading; and key questions to promote the reader's further thinking. This second edition has been fully revised and updated to take into account new debates and recent events in Syria, Iraq and Ukraine, and also restructured to further improve its usefulness as a teaching tool.

Über den Autor
David Jordan writes fiction and poetry.
David's poem "Portal" featured in International Poetry's Top 100 Poems of 2017.
Born in former Yugoslavia during wartime, David's earliest memories consist of his family fleeing from his native country just to survive. Needless to say, this made a great impression on him and contributed to his perception of the world.
He moved with his mother and father to Sydney, Australia in December of 1996 at just five years old. David rapidly learned the English language and became obsessed with all things sci-fi, fantasy and magic. Quickly becoming consumed by the Star Wars and Harry Potter universes - while very firmly being a truth hunter due to his experience in Yugoslavia - he knew that one day, he wanted to live in magical worlds just like that. They had to be real. He was sure of it.
Well, he grew up and realised the next best thing; if they didn't exist, at least he could create them, however he liked.
And create he did.
Zusammenfassung
A fully revised and updated new edition of this leading introduction to the theory and conduct of warfare in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The book combines analysis of key concepts, theory and military doctrine with reference to relevant examples from history, and integrates the land, sea, and air environments.
