About
A sweeping military-historical treatise in which Imperial Army strategist Kanji Ishiwara sets out his distinctive theory of war. Surveying warfare from Napoleon onward, he argues that conflict is not accidental but the inevitable product of technological and economic forces. He traces an alternating rhythm of attritional and decisive wars that, in his prophetic vision, converges on a coming "final war" fought with airpower and new weapons. Adapted from a 1940 Kyoto lecture, the book distills the strategic worldview that made Ishiwara one of Japan's most controversial military thinkers.
