REVISITING THE ORIGINS Doing so reveals that grand strategy was not an idea born of the experience of the First or Second World Wars.

TIME SLIPS BY: #REVIEWING THE TARTAR STEPPE The Tartar Steppe is both a scathing critique of military pre-war life and a meditation on a soldier’s independent thirst for glory. It is a tale of a wasted life and a parable of time lost. It serves as a warning for those who focus too heavily on the future, and not enough on the present. It even serves as a black comedy about alienation SEA MINES IN AMPHIBIOUS OPERATIONS Sea Mines in Amphibious Operations. Josh Abbey. August 8, 2018.
