  1. Manvi Singh –

    While dense, it gives a new perception of war. It challenges the ideas one would have about war and the use of force.

  2. Sumit Bahuguna –

    Provides a comprehensive understanding of modern conflict. Some arguments seem dated now, but it’s still a valuable read.

  3. Shubham Pathak –

    Important perspectives on the limitations of military power. A bit dry at times, but overall, a valuable contribution to the field.

  4. Ved Himanshu Patel –

    I found the book insightful, particularly Smith’s analysis of ‘war amongst the people’. But it could’ve been shorter.

  5. Utkarsh Kumar –

    A dense but rewarding read. Smith’s analysis of modern conflict is insightful, but some parts felt a bit too academic. Still worth it.

    An influential piece on intervention, and current conflicts. A solid book that will make you think critically about current affairs.
