Reviews

'Amos Fox’s Maneuver Is Dead delivers a powerful challenge to the maneuver-centric orthodoxy that has dominated Western military thought since before the Cold War. Seamlessly integrating academic theory with battlefield practice, the book provides conceptual clarity on how undogmatic combined arms application and the brutal logic of destruction and exhaustion yield pathways to victory. Written with analytical precision that is accessible to educators, analysts and practitioners alike, Fox’s study compels readers to re-examine deeply held assumptions about how wars are actually fought and decided in land contests. This provocative study is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the true character of twenty-first-century land warfare.' * Nathan Jennings, Command and General Staff College, USA * 'Amos Fox delivers essential reading for policy makers and military planners, exposing how flawed military theory has created an illusory vision of warfare that dangerously undermines our readiness for great power war and our ability to deter it.' * Franz-Stefan Gady, Military Analyst and Defense Consultant, USA *
