Emilie Cleret, a discerning critique from France's École de Guerre, dives deep with host Peter Roberts into the complexities of military strategy. They question the existence of a 'Western Way of War' and discuss the evolving nature of military thought. The conversation touches on the impact of historical figures like Clausewitz and emphasizes the importance of human emotions in warfare, as well as the dangers of over-reliance on AI.
