JOHANNESBURG - Modern warfare is changing from the battlefield to one fought from behind a computer screen.

This is evidenced by the number of drone strikes in the field of war.

Conflict scholar and former soldier Mike Martin has written extensively on the subject of warfare.

His latest book, How to Fight a War, Martin discusses how armies mobilise and fight in conflicts.
