Simulating War: Studying Conflict through Simulation Games
‘Brilliant. Professor  Sabin has produced a masterwork, one worthy to grace bookshelves that are home to Von Reisswitz'sKriegsspiel, Wells’sLittle Wars,  Morse and Kimball’sMethods of Operations Research,  and Schelling’sThe Strategy of Conflict. If you want to learn more about the unquestionably horrible but quintessentially human activity that is War, you need to read this book.’Dr Peter Perla, Center for Naval Analyses, Alexandria VA, author ofThe Art of Wargaming.‘InSimulating WarProfessor Sabin provides us with a scholarly and very useable toolkit that allows us to supplement the dry data of statistical analysis or computer simulation with the realities of human interaction and the play of Clausewitz’s “chance”.  Wargaming is a neglected and misunderstood art in the modern military: this book does much to put that right, and should be on the shelf of any thinking military professional.’Brigadier Andrew Sharpe OBE, Head of Research in the Development, Concepts and Doctrine Centre, UK Defence Academy
