From the Twin Towers to the insurrections in Iraq and Afghanistan, from the proxy wars in the Levant and the Persian Gulf to Wagner's role in North Africa and the Sahel, from the challenges in cyberspace to the new race to conquer space and, finally, from the People's Republic of China's naval programme to the Russian T-72s deployed on the Ukrainian border. The common thread linking this mosaic, despite the diversity of its forms and representations, is always the same: imposing one's will on the adversary by force.It is the logic of organised violence, of war, which has returned to our doorstep. Never before has the world seemed so insecure. It is therefore necessary to know, to understand and to defend oneself. This book, through the contribution of some of the most qualified Italian scholars of the subject, has the ambition to explain the evolution of modern warfare from theory to practice, from the ideas of Clausewitz and Sun Tzu to the caterpillars of Putin and the ships of Xi Jinping.
