General David Petraeus (Ret.) on Conflict: The Evolution of Warfare from 1945 to Ukraine, co-authored with Andrew Roberts — and what it means for Ukraine's fight.
In this conversation, General Petraeus discusses the ideas at the heart of Conflict — the continuities in the nature of war and the changes in its character since 1945 — and how they illuminate Russia's war on Ukraine and the path back to peace.
