Article Abstract:
Sir Lawrence Freedman, director of the war studies department at King's College London, believes that the current crisis in the Middle East makes the war studies department more vital than ever. He contends that a poor sense of history is being brought to bear on the issues that relate to the problems in the Middle East and that it is the job of the war studies department to ensure that the debate is properly informed.
