Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. In every headline conflict, there is usually another war running in the shadows. States' arm movements, they do not admit to backing, deny casualties they quietly caused, and call disasters "local disputes" when everyone knows better. This book opens up that hidden layer, explaining why so many contests between great powers are now fought as proxy wars rather than open invasions.Across the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, cold war proxy conflicts, modern proxy conflicts, and small wars, big empires have quietly redrawn borders and strained treasuries. Drawing on strategy, economics, and political science, this book shows how hybrid warfare strategy actually works in practice, how patrons manage clients, and why seemingly cheap interventions so often spiral into expensive quagmires for both states and societies.Written for policy watchers, journalists, and readers of security studies, it also speaks to anyone trying to understand the international relations of war without jargon or romanticism. You will see how private military companies fit into this ecosystem, how sanctions and covert money flows enable covert interventions book-style operations, and how to read today's crises with a clearer eye. By the end, you will know which questions to ask when the next conflict flares on your screen, which trade-offs leaders are trying to hide, and how ordinary people pay the price even when their country is not officially at war.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Under the Arctic ice, the ocean becomes a distorted instrument: sound bends, surfaces vanish, and certainty is replaced by judgement. Yet this is where some of the most consequential missions in modern strategy take place, from deterrence patrols to intelligence collection. Submarines Under Ice explains why the polar theatre is not a simple contest of who is quieter or who has better sensors, but a managed confrontation with an environment that makes detection, navigation, and communication unreliable at the same time.Viktor Romcev offers a clear framework for thinking about operations where acoustic detection can be intermittent, under-ice navigation accumulates error, and communications can be delayed or one-way. The book shows how patrol patterns and basing shape what is feasible, why sonar performance depends on ice and oceanography rather than slogans, and how safety margins erode when missions demand proof of presence. It also faces the hardest practical truth: rescue under ice is slow, technically constrained, and politically sensitive, which changes how risks are taken long before anything goes wrong.Written for general readers, students, and analysts, Submarines Under Ice replaces cinematic assumptions with a disciplined view of constraints and consequences. Readers will come away understanding strategic deterrence as an operational practice, not an abstract doctrine, and seeing how escalation dynamics can be triggered by ambiguity: a lost contact, a close approach, an accident that cannot be quickly explained. In a domain where detection barely works, the most important question is often not what happened, but what others can credibly believe happened - and what they will do next.
