David Brown (editor) - War Amongst the People (Sandhurst Trends in International Conflict): Critical Assessments: 1

Edited by David Brown, Donette Murray, Malte Riemann, Norma Rossi and Martin A. Smith, The Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, UK

The Sandhurst Trends in International Conflict series is a cutting-edge forum and platform for original thought and debate on military and security matters within the contemporary international security environment. It aims to stimulate authors to think critically about contemporary conflict and security more generally and to identify and evaluate practical, political and doctrinal lessons from recent experience. The Sandhurst series invites practitioners and academics from the fields of security, diplomacy, the law, politics and the military to interrogate and publish on the key debates that will shape both the contemporary international security environment and a modern military operating within it.
