Strategy Strikes Back: How Star Wars Explains Modern Military Conflict |
What can Star Wars tell us about conflict? Originally conceived as a teaching tool, the idea that we can learn lessons from a galaxy far far away is turned into this series of essays by officers, strategists and researchers. They're a mixed bag; although aimed at those with no prior military knowledge, some are overly technical. But most are enlightening: Han shot first - that's a preventive strike. Entertaining too - where else would the Battle of Endor be described as Agincourt with teddy bears? Not just for military buffs. (Kate Ellis - bwl 96 Spring 2020) |
