The Idea

Kings of War is about strategy, widely defined.

We assign each of our posts to one (or more) of seven “columns” – the tabs at the top of the page. Alanbrooke is about British national security and defense. Clausewitz deals with strategic theory. Galula explores counterinsurgency. Grant, like the U.S. general and president, is concerned with American grand strategy. Mao covers insurgency and terrorism. Thucydides is history. Turing, as in Alan Turing, reviews cyberwar and the virtual dimension of conflict.

And then, of course, we cover other critical matters of survival.

KoW is a place for discussion, not agitation. Note that you can edit any comment for a 5 minutes window after posting it. Our editorial policy remains the same as ever: be sensible, be polite.
