This Tweet is basically Radical War in a nutshell.

Commentator using his smartphone to recall something while on broadcast media.

Misappropriation of history for political purposes.

Conspiracy theory as hypothesising.

OSINT as propaganda.

@arisroussinos Many thanks for mentioning Radical War @arisroussinos

Am pleased that a year in, the book still has so much to say about the conduct & experience of contemporary war.

I realise it’s bleak but clearly we need to properly grasp the confluence of smartphone tech & war

And another great review of @WarRadical

3rd one in two days!

[Matthew Ford @warmatters]

This looks like an important contribution for interpreting participative war (as outlined in @WarRadical).

Bottom line states that “put civilians in harm's way by inducing them to directly participate in hostilities may constitute standalone violations of IHL…”

Radical War gets some promotion!
Now I’m participating for follows, clicks and maybe even a bump in sales!

Maybe after a year of war in Ukraine, the thesis we outlined in RW still stands up!

Also very pleased to see @arisroussinos discuss Radical War @WarRadical.

"The smartphone and the drone camera have changed war entirely...Trapped in the internet, we are all of us participants, willing or not, in a great, globe-spanning war without end"

Very pleased to read the @SMH_Historians Journal of Military History review of Radical War @WarRadical.

Our reviewer observes:

"Radical War should be on the required reading list of any senior military school and on the desks of those in the intelligence community".

🙏

[Matthew Ford @warmatters]

Right set of questions being asked here. One for a whole heap of scholars straddling war and media.

We've been spending more time on transferring from our old site to the digital archive of GWOT art and graffiti- starting with memorials made by troops, to commemorate the fallen. Check it out:

“Radical War” (@WarRadical, @OxUniPress) by @warmatters & @andrewhoskins attacks the intellectual foundation of the West’s understanding of war, arguing it needs a total overhaul if it’s to account for the information era’s legion of changes. @diplocourier https://t.co/23OISsOJkW

@warmatters @andrewhoskins @guyyeomans @WarRadical And by that different realities? Should we forget about epistemology?

[Matthew Ford @warmatters]

Here you go people.

Different platforms. Different audiences. Different demographics. Different messages. All out competing MSM in what we call "The New War Ecology".
