{"product_id":"more-on-war-martin-van-creveld-9780198788171","title":"More on War","description":"\"War is the most important thing in the world,\" writes Martin van Creveld, military historian and author of the monumental work, \u003cem\u003eThe Rise and Decline of the State\u003c\/em\u003e. The survival of every country, government, and individual is ultimately dependent on war - or the ability to wage it in self-defense. That is why, though it may come but once in a hundred years, every country must be prepared every day. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn spite of the centrality of war to human history and culture, there has long been no modern attempt to provide a replacement for the classics on war and strategy: Sun Tzu's \u003cem\u003eThe Art of War\u003c\/em\u003e, dating from the 5th or 6th century BC, and Carl von Clausewitz's \u003cem\u003eOn War\u003c\/em\u003e, written in the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhat is needed is a modern, comprehensive, easy to read and understand theory of war for the 21st century that could serve as a replacement for these classic texts. The purpose of the present book is to provide such a theory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin Van Creveld\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198788177\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198788171\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.60w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2017","brand":"Martin Van Creveld","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43990105096447,"sku":"9780198788171","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_504a6ddf-f0af-470f-8bff-037962f3fde9.jpg?v=1683303021","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/more-on-war-martin-van-creveld-9780198788171","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
