“...the book will be valuable to all who are interested in the continuing evolution of military thought.”–Paper Wars
“...an important book: logical and systematic in its development, sophisticated, analytic, often subtle, frequently irreverent, and consistently mind expanding. Serious students of all levels of war past, present, or prospective future--and especially future--will learn much from it.”–Joint Force Quarterly
Product Description
This book argues that time is the primary dimension in modern war and explores the paradoxes of warfare's temporal characteristics. Leonhard introduces a bold new theory that focuses on time as the critical component that controls all other aspects of war. Well-grounded in history, Leonhard's work is certain "to take its place as a classic theory of war" according to James R. McDonough, who wrote the foreword.
