Summary:

Russia's war in Ukraine represents a watershed moment in the evolution of modern warfare, challenging long-held assumptions about how wars are fought, sustained, perceived, and theorized in the twenty-first century. It has become not only a defining conflict of our time but also a prism through which the dynamics of modern and future warfare can be understood. This volume offers the most comprehensive analysis to date of the war and its implications for current and future understandings of warfare. It brings together leading scholars and practitioners to illuminate the theory and practice of war in light of the conflict.
