Amos C Fox: Maneuver Is Dead, Gebunden

Blurb

Considering the failure of Western states, coalitions, and alliances to succeed in their post-9 / 11 wars, Maneuver is Dead goes beyond the accepted norms and practices of strategic and military thought to examine what warfare looks like today - with battlegrounds transformed by technology and old methods of warfare quickly becoming extinct. In doing so, Amos Fox seeks to overturn many of the long-standing shibboleths of strategic and military thought, including concepts such as the primacy of maneuver warfare, centers of gravity, and decisive battle, replacing those concepts with modern ideas that account for the realities of the international system, industrialized states, networked militaries, and new technology. Providing an alternative vision of the future of land warfare, Fox uses his on-the-ground experience, as well as a dynamic selection of case studies from contemporary wars including the Russo-Ukrainian War, Israel-Hamas and the Syrian Civil War, to demonstrate how positional warfare has overcome maneuver as the most useful form of warfare, illustrating how wars of attrition will remain the norm in the 21st Century.
