Description

Get a clear, evidence-based look at the reality of land warfare with Ground Combat: Puncturing the Myths of Modern War. Published by Georgetown University Press, this book moves past subjective opinions to examine the tactical level of fighting through a data-driven lens. Ben Connable provides a necessary correction to inaccurate characterizations of how modern conflicts actually unfold on the ground. By analyzing an original dataset of over 400 global ground combat cases, the text reveals that the nature of warfare has undergone an evolutionary shift rather than a revolutionary one. Readers will learn how the characteristics of combat have changed from World War II through the early 2020s. Even as military technology, tanks, and artillery continue to advance, this book explains how the fundamental elements of land combat remain grounded in historical patterns. This is an essential resource for anyone studying politics, government, and the shifting landscape of global military strategy.
