The fates of nations, and even continents, often rest on the outcome of war and thus on how its practitioners consider war. \u003cem\u003eThe Human Face of War\u003c\/em\u003e is a new exploration of military thought. It starts with the observation that much military thought is poorly developed—often incoherent and riddled with paradox. The author contends that what is missing from British and American writing on warfare is any underpinning mental approach or philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhy are some tank commanders, snipers, fighter pilots or submarine commanders far more effective than others? Why are many generals sacked at the outbreak of war? \u003cem\u003eThe Human Face of War\u003c\/em\u003e examines such phenomena and seeks to explain them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe author argues that military thought should be based on an approach which reflects the nature of combat. Combat—fighting—is primarily a human phenomenon dominated by human behaviour. The book explores some of those human issues and their practical consequences. \u003cem\u003eThe Human Face of War\u003c\/em\u003e calls for, and suggests, a new way of considering war and warfare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46850126119148,"sku":"9781441187505","price":178.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/2956263482701.jpg?v=1759079842"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/dr-jim-storr.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
