Reviews

'The Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 has demonstrated that, contrary to some predictions, high-intensity land warfare is not just a historical phenomenon. Christopher Tuck's stimulating book is an excellent and timely introduction to land warfare, but it is far more than just a basic text; academics and military practitioners can learn much from it'. Gary Sheffield, Emeritus Professor, University of Wolverhampton, UK ‘This book is a well-written, well-researched and wide-ranging exploration of land warfare. I think that it is excellent. Chris Tuck, whose style is always clear, engaging and eminently readable, explores and demystifies every aspect of warfare on land. Whether you read this book as an introduction to the subject (as a ‘primer’), or you come to it as a hardened professional soldier or experienced academic, you will find that it offers insight and understanding.’ Major General Dr Andrew Sharpe, CBE
