Description

What're the independent factors that determine success in battle? Drawing on 40 years of training and learning battle, political researcher Religious G. Potholm provides a 'template of Mars,' seven variables that have served as predictors of military achievement over time and across cultures. In Earning at Battle, Potholm describes these variables—technology, continual ruthlessness, self-control, receptivity to development, safety of military money from civilians and rulers, will, and the fact that there will continually be another war—and offers case-studies of the execution, from historic fights to nowadays.
