- Title
Book Review: Urban Warfare in the Twenty-First Century by Anthony King.
- Authors
Boff, Jonathan
- Abstract
So, for example, King points out that while we tend to think of the major urban battles of the Second World War as land battles (Stalingrad, Manila and Berlin), in fact 'urban air battles were far more common and, overall, far more destructive' (p. 111). Anthony King is Professor of War Studies at the University of Warwick and a noted and astute commentator on warfare and the armed forces in the twenty-first century. And, lastly, King scatters insights throughout the book which make the reader think of things in an invigorating fresh light.
