Discussion: Dr. Anthony King Explores Urban Conflict in the 21st Century's Military Landscape
In recent news, Dr. Anthony King, a professor of war studies at the University of Warwick, has published a new book titled "Urban Warfare in the Twenty-First Century." This timely work delves into the strategic and operational aspects of urban combat in the modern era.
Dr. King, an esteemed academic, has drawn on his extensive knowledge and research to explore the complexities of urban warfare in the 21st century. With cities growing rapidly and becoming increasingly strategic objectives in major conflicts, understanding the challenges and strategies involved in urban combat is more crucial than ever.
The book discusses how Western militaries, which have shrunk in size compared to their twentieth-century counterparts, are likely to be pulled into urban areas due to the accuracy and lethality of modern military weapons. This phenomenon, known as the "urbanisation of war," is a significant shift in the landscape of modern conflict.
