How to Make War (Fourth Edition): A Comprehensive Guide to Modern Warfare in the Twenty-first Century | |
An indispensable guide to how wars are fought, James F. Dunnigan's classic text has been enormously popular with citizens, professional soldiers, and journalists alike. Now, it's been revised to include a stunning array of new subjects. From the cutting edge of cyberwar to the current concern about terrorism, How to Make War presents a clear picture of complex weapons, armed forces, and tactics.
Describing a new world order, one with a greater number of equipped players than the "Big Two" (the United States and the former Soviet union ), this updated edition features all the elements of traditional warfare, along with a discussion of terrorist techniques; nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons; and Third World ballistic missiles.Past editions of How to Make War were chillingly accurate in assessing and predicting the outcomes of all the major conflicts in the past two decades. Loaded with expertise and the latest information, this edition is an essential reference for any military library -- and a work that forewarns, and forearms, the Free World for the conflicts ahead.
作者简介James F. Dunnigan is the author of many books and over a hundred historical simulations. He has been a lecturer to the State Department, the CIA, and the U.S. Army War College. He lives in New York City.

Dunnigan was part of the now gone SSI war gamers generation. This books is not a collection of war stories but a lay person's guide to how wars are managed from a broad perspective. This is not the book written by a beltway bandit trying to sell the next generation of wonder weapons, or an author who uses the usual beltway pompous pointless semantics that offend no one and says nothing. This is a book that talks about war at the retail and wholesale level. There are comparison tables, weapons charts and explanations of what it takes for modern war. You might get a 5 second blip about this on CNN. Dunnigan's books should be required reading for all those who want a more than casual shoot'em up approach to war. His chapters are organized around topics and themes such as "Leadership" or "The Poor Bloody Infantry". Those who are military academy students or citizens who want a more direct explanation of the mechanics of warefare management should read this book.
Dunnigan is one of the best military writers in America. This book explains the nuts and bolts of how warfare is waged better then any other book out there. If you are a war/history buff, you will like this book. I have read and reread it since the first edition in the 1980's, since then it has been revised and updated and has even more information. This book is probably the most comprehensive book about war-making ever written.
a book that discusses the all around nature of war. It doesn't focus on only the infantry or only tanks but dabbles into a little of everything. For that same reason, it doesn't go into specifics about any one branch of the military but that's not the point of the book. It also not a book of tactics nor a book trying to explain why wars happen. It just tries to lay out the different weapons and branches of the military armies use in war. I recommend it if you want to know what happens in war, how armies fight, and why war is so expensive.
Gets a great Armchair primer of conventional warfare from the 80s and the concepts that still apply today.
