| Summary/Abstract |
A central challenge of the military profession revolves around how best to understand future wars and the strategies needed to fight them. Colin S. Gray grappled with this matter throughout his long and productive career. His work offers antidotes to strategic faddism and technology fetishization that often characterize discussions of war and peace. Although Gray is no longer with us, his takes on the future of war and strategy are worth revisiting now more than ever. A world increasingly defined by U.S.-China competition, a meddlesome Russia, belligerent regional powers like North Korea, and the growth and spread of new ways of war demands careful thinking about the future of armed conflict. His work can help guide scholars and practitioners through the fog of such contested peace.
