In this book, military analyst Anders Puck Nielsen explores the most consequential conflicts of the modern era. Drawing on research from defense academies around the world, he presents a clear and accessible account of what everyone should know about modern warfare, structured across eleven concise chapters.

Along the way, you will discover:- How Finland can field more than ten times as many soldiers as Denmark

- Why North Korea's dictator keeps appearing in photos next to enormous missiles
- How the F-35 could end up as the Danish Air Force's last manned fighter jet
- And why nuclear weapons might just be the ultimate deterrent against a global war

THE LOGIC OF WAR is an eye-opening guide for everyone-from armchair generals and armed men and women to flower power children and anyone who's ­recently begun to question what they thought they knew about war and peace. Packed with concrete examples, it gives readers a clear look at war on land, at sea, in the air-and now in space and cyberspace. You will gain a deeper understanding of what drives the actors in the war in Ukraine and discover how new battlefield tech­nologies, like drones, are changing the rules of war for soldiers and civilians alike.
