This review is of an ARC provided by Netgalley and Yale University Press in exchange for an honest review.

My rating for this book is 4/5.

I am personally interested in reading more about the overall political conflagration that would lead to the onset of war, and also with regards to how dynamic and fluid nature modern types of warfare. In particular the analysis of economic and political methods through which to wage war as well as the analysis of more ‘traditional’ type of warfare of territorial conquest is a thoroughly interesting and engaging read in light of recent events particularly in regards to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

“The Weaponisation of Everything” by is at times incredibly prescient and also a thoroughly fascinating work of in-depth analysis presented terms non-academics and those less engaged in the subject of geopolitics could understand. It is overall fascinating in how it develops and builds the case for Galeotti’s insights on the topic.

I wish to see more books like this, and I would overall heartily recommend this book.
