This book provides an insightful overview into the world of warfare.It has been said that 'only the dead have seen the end of war' and that 'the best offense is a strong defense'. To those who protect, serve, fight and make the ultimate sacrifice - war is but a bitter reality.Hopefully the study of warfare and the awareness of its causation can serve as the best prevention of future wars and conflicts, resulting in prevention by diplomatic and political means. This book reveals the categories of warfare so as to serve as a source of information to those who engage in its prevention, from the voter to the politician.
