Description

This course investigates command, strategic and tactical decision-making in various wars. Emphasis will be placed on wars of the 20th Century (the Boer War, the First World War, the Second World War, the Korean War, the Vietnam War and more contemporary conflicts). Some case studies, however, may be drawn from the 19th Century or from earlier periods. A feature of this course is that students can expect to be involved with political, strategic and tactical decision making in the form of role-play. The wars to be studied will vary from year to year according to staff availability.
