Conduct of War PB - (Quality Paperbacks Series) by J F Fuller (Paperback)

The Conduct of War is a groundbreaking book that examines how political and economic changes since the French Revolution have transformed the nature of warfare.

Written by renowned military strategist Major General J.F.C.

Fuller, this book provides a comprehensive analysis of the limited wars fought in the age of absolute rulers and the devastating impact of revolutionary government on these conflicts. Fuller argues that the new armies of the Napoleonic age grew exponentially in size and military power, leading to a shift in the purpose of war from forcing enemy governments to alter their policies to the destruction of those governments and absolute surrender of their people.

This concept of war, Fuller contends, is a disastrous return to barbarism that will lead to instability and conflict. Despite some outdated political views, The Conduct of War remains a seminal work of 20th-century military theory.

With its in-depth analysis of the evolution of warfare, this book is an essential read for anyone interested in military history or strategic planning.
