King Arthur's Wars

Beschreibung

'King Arthur's Wars' describes one of the biggest archaeological finds of our times; yet there is nothing new to see. There are secrets hidden in plain sight.

Autor

Jim Storr wrote high-level doctrine for four years as a Regular infantry officer in the British Army. He then embarked on a second career in analysis, consulting, writing and postgraduate teaching. He has lectured, spoken and taught at staff colleges around the world. His first book, 'The Human Face of War', has been on the reading guide at a number of them. It has been described as 'a superb guide for how to approach the conduct of operation'; a book which 'attacks a lot of things that military folks ... take for granted'. Indeed 'rarely has there been a book as good as this for stimulating thinking.' In a temporary change of direction, 'King Arthur's Wars' then looked at how Roman Britain became Anglo-Saxon England. Yet ' ... it contains lessons for modern commanders, and is a guide for all of us as to how to think about problems holistically and logically', and 'his assault on ... conventional history ... is unrelenting, thorough, and persuasive.' He now brings the same approach to war and warfare in the 20th century. Jim Storr was appointed professor of war studies at the Norwegian military academy, Oslo in 2013.
