War and Power
Book • 2023
War and Power challenges traditional views of military power by emphasizing the importance of economic, political, and social factors in achieving victory.
Phillips Payson O'Brien argues that focusing solely on large armies and decisive battles overlooks the complex underlying forces that truly determine success in war.
Drawing on historical examples from Napoleon's France to modern-day China, the book offers a new framework for understanding what makes a power truly great.
