Nuclear Editorial Review
"The Future of War: A History" by Lawrence Friedman is an overview of the historical approach to writing about the future of modern conflict, from the Battle of Darby to the present day. Friedman's lucid writing style and meticulous research make for an interesting and thought-provoking read. The book's analysis helps readers understand the fallacies of believing in short wars and needless overseas conflict. The book may not be for everyone, as some readers found it dry and boring, but for those interested in the history and future of warfare, it is a must-read.
