Explore the complexities of modern conflict with ‘War and Power: Who Wins Wars ― and Why’ by acclaimed historian Phillips Payson O’Brien. This insightful book challenges conventional wisdom, arguing that true power in warfare lies not just in military might or ‘Great Powers’, but in ‘Full Spectrum Powers’ – nations with robust economies and societies capable of sustaining prolonged campaigns and alliances. O’Brien uses compelling historical examples from the late 19th century to today, revealing how misunderstandings of war and power have led to devastating conflicts, including insights relevant to current events like the war in Ukraine and potential US-China tensions. Discover a groundbreaking perspective on the dangerous world we inhabit and gain a clearer understanding of global power dynamics. A must-read for anyone interested in history, strategy, and international relations.
