These questions are by no means new, and indeed merely to list the answers to them that have been given by various people at various times and places would be tantamount to a record of civilisation. This book also has a message - namely, that contemporary "strategic" thought about every one of these problems is fundamentally flawed; which, in addition, is rooted in a "Clausewitzian" world-picture that is either obsolete or wrong. We are entering an era, not of peaceful economic competition between trading blocks, but of warfare between ethnic and religious groups. Hence, this works aims at providing a new, non-Clausewitzian framework for thinking about war, while at the same time trying to look into its future." -- SAF Professional Reading Programme, 3rd edition, Dec 2003.
