While focusing on military theory, the book does not only reflect a single way of relating to knowledge of war and warfare, but furthers learning by introducing contrasting perspectives as well as constantly criticizing the theories. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThere is a clear need for an introductory text for the entire field of military theory that focuses whole-heartedly on the theories - not on their context or how they are expressed in practice during war. This book covers such questions as how we should understand the changing character of war, the utility of force and how the pursuit of political ends is achieved through military means. It draws upon and illustrates military thought through a wide-ranging number of examples from the Napoleonic Wars to the current war in Afghanistan. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book will be of great interest for students of military theory, strategic studies, security studies and defence studies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJan Angstrom\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of War Studies at the Swedish National Defence College, Sweden. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJ.J.
