I read somewhere that the next war is fought like the previous one but I think warfare is going through another transformation. The success of drones, especially in Ukraine, may be taking the infantry person out of the picture.

Sadly, the book points out that there has not been a year without a war since the end of WWII. Are we humans that bad and that aggressive?

Roberts narrates the first half and, in the second half, Petraeus tells us about his experiences in Afghanistan and Iraq along with his perceptions of the fighting in Ukraine. The book does a good job pounding home the four key strategic aspects required of leadership. I think this is true whether its war you are leading or a business.

You’ll read how warfare has evolved and, while I think we’re on the cusp of radical changes, you’ll read how its deployed in Ukraine. Informative, but long and not particularly readable.

Three stars based on the information provided.
