Reviews"In this extensively researched study of ground combat since WWII, Connable demonstrates that modern wars show more continuity than change. Ground Combat certainly deflates the marked tendency in US defense planning circles to embrace each new technology as a paradigm shift or game changer. This book will be provocative to technophiles, but we cannot dictate future military success by emergent technology alone."?F. G. Hoffman, National Defense University

SynopsisA challenge to common assumptions about the future of land warfare Ground Combat reveals the gritty details of land warfare at the tactical level and challenges today's overly subjective and often inaccurate approaches to characterizing war. Ben Connable's motivation for writing the book is to offer an evidence-based approach to examining the future of war. Connable created and analyzed an original dataset of more than four hundred global ground combat cases, showing that there was an evolutionary rather than revolutionary shift in the characteristics of ground combat from World War II through the early 2020s.

This book asks readers to stop and think about the implications of these findings for force planning and future predictions about military-technical revolutions. This book sets an essential evidentiary baseline for military officers, policymakers, and scholars who think about the future of modern war., A challenge to common assumptions about the future of land warfare Ground Combat reveals the gritty details of land warfare at the tactical level and challenges today's overly subjective and often inaccurate approaches to characterizing war.
