War and power are some of the most-widely discussed issues in all of human history and yet they are, time and again, misunderstood - often disastrously so. Whilst we might think the outcome of war is determined by so-called 'Great Powers' who dominate their opponents with their impressive size and military prowess, the reality of modern conflict, as Professor Phillips Payson O'Brien demonstrates, is very different. In this book, strategic historian O'Brien shows us that we need to think less about weapons and battles, and more about the economies, politics and societies that produce them.
