I'm curious to know if you have any thoughts on Philip Bobbitt's The Shield of Achilles, which seemingly examines the history of military strategy (and warfare more generally) in a socio-economic context. It sounds fascinating, but I'm wary of committing to 900 pages of something like this without consulting people I trust first.

I encourage people interested in this to read the book, Shield of Achilles: War, Peace, and the Course of History. This was a victory for the nation state, which remains the single best ordering for our civil society.
