Research on military tactical thinking noted by the swedish officers’ Magazine

September 14, 2019 mikaelweissmann

Our recent article “Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the most offensive of them all? – Explaining the offensive bias in military tactical thinking” in Defence Studies has received the attention by the Swedish Officers’ magazine “Officerstidningen”. Read an interview with my co-author LtCol Peter Ahlström here: https://www.officersforbundet.se/globalassets/pdfer/officerstidningen/2019/officerstidningen-nr-5-2019.pdf (pp. 10-11) (in Swedish).
