War in the Modern World

"War in the Modern World" explores the new face of war. US Naval War College professor David R. Stone is your expert guide. You will examine modern war through modern conflicts, exploring decades of violent conflicts between and within nation-states. You will define insurgency and counterinsurgency warfare as well as the strategies that underlie both. You will learn about the weapons that fundamentally changed how countries and rebel groups fight, and understand how highly localized civil and insurgent conflicts became the new terrains on which great powers wage war.
