Tolkien's War and Conflict

Tolkien is an interesting writer when it comes to war and conflict. He describes things from both a very zoomed out kind of meta perspective and then very zoomed in on the individual characters. And so as somebody who is reading this, it can come across kind of dense and yet still removed at the same time. So let's get into it in a in a way that explains things in a little bit more of a natural manner or at least that's my attempt.
