Ground Combat: Puncturing the Myths of Modern War
By Ben Connable · 352 pages
Why this title matters
Ben Connable's evidence-based challenge to the claim that new technology is transforming land warfare beyond recognition. Drawing on 468 ground combat cases from WWII through 2022, he shows that tanks, artillery, infantry, terrain, and the fog of war remain as central to modern combat as they were in 1944 — a corrective for anyone who has confused sensor range for tactical advantage.
