Abstract

"How to Fight a War" is a book by Mike Martin that serves as a strategic reference guide for commanders-in-chief of armed forces. Divided into three parts, the book covers important considerations at the strategic, operational, and tactical levels of war. Martin emphasizes the importance of understanding intangible fundamentals such as strategy, intelligence, logistics, morale, and training, as well as tangible capabilities like land, sea, air, and space capabilities. While the book provides valuable insights into strategy, it does not address the complexity of strategy in contexts other than conventional warfare. Overall, "How to Fight a War" would be a useful resource for students of international security and strategic studies, as well as non-military professionals involved in security matters.
