THE BOOK AIMS TO PROVIDE THE READER WITH A STATE-OF-THE-ART INTRODUCTION TO CLASSIC AND MODERN MILITARY THEORY. THE TEXT ACCOUNTS FOR THE MOST IMPORTANT THEORIES WITHIN THE FIELD BY DEVELOPING AND ANALYZING THESE THEORIES, AS WELL AS PROBLEMATIZING BOTH THEIR NORMATIVE AND EXPLANATORY AIMS. WHILE FOCUSING ON MILITARY THEORY, THE BOOK DOES NOT ONLY REFLECT A SINGLE WAY OF RELATING TO KNOWLEDGE OF WAR AND WARFARE, BUT FURTHERS LEARNING BY INTRODUCING CONTRASTING PERSPECTIVES AS WELL AS CONSTANTLY CRITICIZING THE THEORIES.
