Description

Explore a new perspective on military strategy with A History of Modern Wars of Attrition from Bloomsbury. While many view attrition as a senseless and bloody slogging match, such as the frontal assaults seen on the Western Front during World War I, this book offers a different view. This first book-length study challenges the idea that attrition is always an undesirable method of warfare. Through a historical analysis of strategic thought, the text demonstrates how these methods were often implemented to conserve casualties rather than engage in futile assaults. This work provides a deep look into the complexities of international affairs and military history, offering a scholarly look at how these strategies functioned in real-world conflict.
