This event was moved from November 10th
The 2020 Edgar S. Furniss Book Award was awarded to Jason Lyall for his book Divided Armies: Inequality and Battlefield Performance in Modern War (Princeton University Press). In the book, Lyall introduces the concept of military inequality - demonstrating how a state’s prewar choices about the citizenship status of ethnic groups within its population determine subsequent battlefield performance.
The Mershon Center's Furniss Book Award commemorates the founding director of the Mershon Center and is given annually to an author whose first book makes an exceptional contribution to the study of national and international security.
Please join us on November 17 where Lyall will join us to discuss his book and have time for Q&A and open discussion.
