About the book
The wars in Ukraine and the Middle East are symptoms of a turning point that has been developing for decades: increasingly, military confrontation is once again being viewed as a legitimate means of pursuing political goals. Starting from the present, but also examining previous conflicts, Franz-Stefan Gady analyses the enduring nature of war and the evolving character of modern warfare.
Jury evaluation
For a long time, the subject of this book – war – seemed like a thing of the past for Germany and Europe. With painful precision, military analyst Franz-Stefan Gady dissects the political misjudgements that have led to the return of war to Europe and answers crucial questions: how are wars waged today, what role do artificial intelligence and nuclear weapons play, and what factors determine their course? Gady examines specific scenarios that could become relevant for Europe, focusing in particular on Germany’s potential role as a leading military power in Europe. Finally, he advocates for a strategic culture of deterrence to prevent future wars. The book provides urgently needed insight and confronts Germany with the unwelcome reality of a new global order.
