Lessons from Ukraine: How Modern War Is Really Fought

By Scott Marshall

The war in Ukraine has shattered many assumptions about how modern conflict is supposed to be fought.

This book examines the Russia-Ukraine war not as a political crisis or a historical anomaly, but as a living example of high-intensity warfare under contemporary conditions. It focuses on how combat actually unfolds on today's battlefield-where drones eliminate concealment, artillery dominates tempo, logistics determine endurance, and infantry absorbs the greatest cost.

Lessons from Ukraine analyzes the realities of modern combat at the tactical and operational levels. It explores the role of artillery, drones, armored forces, urban warfare, force structure, and personnel systems under sustained attrition. Rather than offering predictions or abstract theory, the book draws practical lessons from observable battlefield behavior and adaptation.

Written for military professionals, policymakers, and serious readers of defense and security affairs, this volume strips away myths of quick victories and technological shortcuts. It shows why modern war rewards resilience over speed, endurance over elegance, and adaptation over doctrine.

Ukraine is not a special case. It is a warning.
