Review # 1 was written on 2009-05-01 00:00:00 Martin Pistilli Ropp's book is considered a classic and does a decent job intermixing theory and history to show the development of military practice. Problem is that modern means the end of WWII. It is well researched and provides plenty of primary source material. Ropp ends his piece with the notion that future large scale war is impossible due to the destructiveness of nuclear weapons. He then posits an alternative definition of modern war: "the means by which a nation seeks to impose its will by all means short of total war, and with without disturbing its own economy..." Sounds very much like this describes our last two wars...an interesting book.
