Abstract |
The quest for a science of war can be traced back to antiquity. The first century AD Roman author Frontinus, who wrote in Latin but used the odd Greek word (such as ‘strategy’) when no Latin word existed, wrote about the science of war — rei militaris scientia.The late nineteenth century, with its exponential growth in the number and spread of new technological inventions, if anything made the scientific even more popular. In the early twentieth century, German and British authors wrote about Strategical Sciences and the Science of War. |
