Jim Storr, "War and Warfare in the Twentieth Century" (Howgate Publishing, 2025)

What can we learn from war, and warfare, in the twentieth century? What observations and deductions can we make, and what lessons can we draw? ‘War and Warfare in the Twentieth Century’ examines both a clearly delineated period in the past, and the century which offers us the most (and the most relevant) material to examine. Deliberately looking through the prism of strategy, operations and tactics, this book offers a surprisingly novel perspective on some apparently familiar ground. Jim Storr's War and Warfare in the Twentieth Century (Howgate Publishing Limited, 2025) will make you think long and hard about what you thought you knew about war and warfare.
