Following the bestselling first edition of this groundbreaking book, the face of conflict and war has undergone numerous changes.

The second edition is complemented by two forewords written by notable generals who once oversaw the author during operations. In the words of Brig Gen Alaxander, ‘Mobility of mind and manoeuvre and a grasp of the importance of the seven Pillars of State, as elucidated in Composite Warfare, are more essential to such thinking today than were the contents of Lawrence’s Seven Pillars of Wisdom to revolutionary war theorists during the 20th century.’
