Jack Watling

Jack Watling is a British security and defence researcher at the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI), one of the world's oldest and most respected independent think tanks on international defence and security. He is a specialist in land warfare, military innovation and the changing nature of modern conflict, and has conducted field research in conflict zones around the world. Statecraft examines the art and practice of strategic decision-making in defence and foreign policy, drawing on Watling's extensive research and firsthand experience observing modern conflicts. His analysis is informed by deep expertise in how wars are actually fought and how strategic decisions translate into outcomes on the ground. Available as both a book and an audiobook, Statecraft offers essential listening and reading for anyone interested in defence, security, geopolitics and the complex art of making strategic decisions in an increasingly dangerous world.
