The art of war is an ugly art, yet it is ever more pivotal in our turbulent world as we struggle to comprehend the sheer scale of atrocities. However, people do tend to simplify the conduct of warfare to a mere contest of weaponry and wealth, and neglecting initiatives of commanders in the complicated system of warfare. Therefore we, the History Society, hope to explore this missing linkage by providing this valuable platform for studies of various aspects of warfare, from tactical doctrines to cultural impacts, thereby understanding war as an intrinsic and comprehensive phenomenon throughout human history. It is also our hope that by investigating in this perplexing topic can we acknowledge that war is not instigated to deal with the ordeals ahead only, but also a cruel portrayal of how human beings endeavour to slaughter each other by all means, and at all costs.
