Winning Westeros: How Game of Thrones Explains Modern Military Conflict

Set in the fictitious world of Westeros, the hit television series Game of Thrones chronicles the bitter and violent struggle between the realmâ€™s noble dynasties for control of the Seven Kingdoms. But this beloved fantasy drama has just as much to say about the successful strategies and real-life warfare waged in our own time and place.Â Winning WesterosÂ brings together more than thirty of todayâ€™s top military and strategic experts, including generals and admirals, policy advisors, counterinsurgency tacticians, science fiction and fantasy writers, and groundâ€‘level military officers, to explain the strategy and art of war by way of theÂ Game of ThronesÂ saga.

Each chapter ofÂ Winning WesterosÂ provides a relatable, outsideâ€‘theâ€‘box way to simplify and clarify the complexities of modern military conflict. A chapter on the doomed butcherâ€™s boy whom Arya Stark befriends byÂ World War ZÂ author Max Brooks poignantly reminds us of the cruel fate that civilians face during times of war. Another chapter on Jaqen Hâ€™ghar and the faceless men of Bravos explores the pivotal roles that stealth and intelligence play in battle. Whether considering the diplomatic prowess of Tyrion Lannister, the defiant leadership style of Daenerys Targaryen, the Battle of the Bastards and the importance of reserves, Brienne of Tarth and the increased role of women in combat, or dragons as weapons of mass destruction, Winning Westeros gives fans of Game of Thrones and aspiring military minds alike an inspiring and entertaining means of understanding the many facets of modern warfare. It is a book as captivating and enthralling as Game of Thrones itself.
