Beyond Ukraine

‘Beyond Ukraine is a welcome antidote to [the] myopia [of U.S. security discourse].’

-- Joint Force Quarterly

'A broad and in-depth approach.'

-- Clingendael Spectator

'One of the most detailed and forensic explorations of the war in Ukraine and its implications for the future of conflict. Drawing together a superb array of experts, this book links the strategic, technological and human experience of war in Ukraine with the wars that are an unwelcome but inevitable part of our collective future.'

-- Maj. Gen. (Retd) Mick Ryan, Australian Army

'The best edited volume on war and warfare to appear in this century.'

-- Lt. Gen. (Retd) H. R. McMaster, former US National Security Advisor

'Sweijs and Michaels have done a remarkable job pulling together a stellar collection of contributors who use the experience of the Russian–Ukraine war to illuminate all aspects of the future of warfare.

-- Sir Lawrence Freedman, Emeritus Professor of War Studies, King's College London

'Of all futures to anticipate, those of war are the trickiest. An existential endeavour in which technology and human values meet under high pressure requires ingenuity, creativity and intellectual honesty to outline and frame. This book, written by the best in the field, has all of the above.'

-- Florence Gaub, Director of the Research Division, NATO Defense College

'A timely, thoughtful analysis. Leading scholars delve into theoretical and empirical questions about great power war, technological innovation, people's war and other pressing issues.

-- Jacqueline L. Hazelton, Executive Editor of International Security, Harvard Kennedy School

'Given the infrequency of war as well as its changing character, soldiers and scholars must rely upon theory and history to guide them towards an uncertain future. These essays offer useful aids to navigating through the fog of peace.'

-- Thomas G. Mahnken, Philip Merrill Center for Strategic Studies, Johns Hopkins University
