Welcome to The Ancient Art of Warfare

This site is opposed to the proposition that technical and tactical developments are driving a fundamental change, driving an ongoing revolution in military affairs that renders all previous forms of warfare, with its theories, strategies, and tactics obsolete. Although these developments are changing the practice of war the fundamental nature and principles of war are unchanging. What we do in war remains unchanging. How we do it — well, that is something else. In the end, warfare always old and ever new.
