The world hasn't been this dangerous since 1946, and this book is your essential guide to understanding why. The post-Cold War era of relative peace is over. We've plunged into a new age of global conflict, where the number of wars is the highest since World War II and the old rules no longer apply. This book, The Rise of State Based Armed Conflict, is a clear-eyed, comprehensive assessment of our turbulent world in 2025. It cuts through the noise to give you a definitive look at the epicenters of 21st-century warfare.

You'll get an on-the-ground analysis of the world's most critical conflicts. We dive deep into Russia's brutal war in Ukraine, where WWI-style trenches meet hyper-modern drone swarms. We unpack the unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, examine the ethnic cleansing in Sudan that has created the world's largest displacement crisis, and explore how the Iran-Israel shadow war finally erupted into direct confrontation.

But this book goes beyond the headlines. You'll journey to the central Sahel, the new global epicenter of terrorism, where state collapse and climate change have created a devastating quagmire. You'll witness Myanmar's revolutionary civil war and the perpetual resource-fueled crisis in the eastern Congo. We'll also break down the world's most perilous flashpoints: the economic doomsday machine of the Taiwan Strait, the nuclear brinkmanship on the Korean Peninsula, and the victor's peace imposed on Armenia.

We explore the big themes connecting these wars—the rise of mercenary armies like Russia's Africa Corps, the weaponization of the global economy costing nearly $20 trillion, and the failure of international institutions to keep the peace. Packed with up-to-date statistics, battlefield analysis, and clear explanations of the practical implications, this book provides the nuanced understanding you need to navigate this new era of global instability. It's not just a recounting of events; it's a vital tool for making sense of a world with over 123 million people forcibly displaced by violence.

This book assesses a world in crisis. It covers 14 major global conflicts. You will learn about the war in Ukraine. Its drone tactics are changing warfare. You will understand the Gaza humanitarian disaster. It explains the Iran-Israel war. It explores the Taiwan flashpoint. Its semiconductor industry is a global chokepoint. The book analyzes the Sahel's collapse. It covers Sudan's self-destruction. This conflict created the largest displacement crisis. Each chapter provides deep analysis. You get historical context. You get current battlefield dynamics. You see the human and economic toll. It explains the practical implications for global security. It is a guide to our dangerous world.

While other books may focus on a single conflict or offer high-level theory, The Rise of State Based Armed Conflict provides a unique, ground-level assessment of every major war zone in 2025. It moves beyond headlines to give you concrete numbers, battlefield specifics, and economic data you won't find synthesized elsewhere. Its true value lies in connecting the dots—showing how drone tactics in Ukraine influence Taiwan's defense, how Russian mercenaries in Africa are part of a global power struggle, and how economic sanctions have become a new kind of warfare. This book doesn't just tell you what is happening; it equips you with the nuanced, practical understanding to see why it's all connected and what it means for our collective future.
