The battlefield is dead
A new essay by Dr Antoine Bousquet on the evolution of military conflict
Dr Antoine Bousquet has published a new article on the evolution of military conflict and the nature of modern battlefields.
Dr Bousquet writes: "The image of the battlefield is one that exerts a powerful hold on our collective imagination. It immediately evokes in our minds the sight of massed troops clashing furiously with each other, culminating in a decisive outcome that determines the fate of a wider conflict. However, such military confrontations have largely vanished from the contemporary landscape of war."
