博客來WAR is back. The intensity of the war in Ukraine has shocked the West. It has brought back an image of war that many thought would never happen again in the European theater. Battle groups of tanks in mass attacks. Airborne assaults against fortified defensive positions. Infantry engaged in full-scale urban combat. Rocket attacks against civilian population centers. Drone swarms. This is about the combat experiences gained in blood on the battlefield. ＂Combat Experience＂ looks at the craft of war and aims to convey which military lessons are important for us if we want to survive as free societies.
