War

Dr Aaron Edwards is Senior Lecturer in the Department of Defence and International Affairs at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. He is the author of Mad Mitch's Tribal Law.

"As our societies become further disengaged from the military services that protect them, and our educational systems lose sight of the enduring value of history to educate our citizenry, we have lost touch with the human tragedy of war.  This is a pity but War: A Beginner's Guide offers a timely remedy.  Dr Edwards captures the essence of the political, social and technological realities of war over the ages in about as concise and clear a presentation I have ever seen. Readers looking for a well-crafted and superbly researched publication to reconnect with the deadly essence of human security, will find this book to be an invaluable resource."
