<br/><br/> The attention of the book book is a little more immediate, being concerned with the actual fighting. It explores the effect of geographical circumstances on the outcome of violent conflict.  Looking at some specific campaigns as case studies.  There is a stage beyond using the stuff of history as raw material for the construction of some general principles.  Lessons can be learned from a selection of recent wars about the effects of global position, environmental conditions and geographical detail on the interplay of geostrategy, tactical decisions and results.
