Fighting Talk

This insightful book by Colin S. Gray explores the nature of strategy, war, and peace through the framework of forty maxims. These mini essays will equip politicians, soldiers, and the public with the knowledge to avoid fallacies in debates about security issues. The maxims are grouped into five clusters: War and Peace, Strategy, Military Power and Warfare, Security and Insecurity, and History and the Future. By following the judgments in these maxims, individuals can increase their chances of making small errors instead of catastrophic ones. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in strategic thinking and historical change.
