Provenance

Where it came from

A Quick and Dirty Guide to War was authored by James F. Dunnigan, a prominent figure in the professional wargaming and board game design industry. Published in 1985 by William Morrow and Co., the book emerged from the geopolitical anxieties of the mid-1980s, serving as a primer for understanding the dynamics of regional conflicts, military capabilities, and the complexities of international friction during the latter years of the Cold War.

Dunnigan utilized his expertise as the founder of Simulations Publications, Inc. (SPI) to distill complex military strategy into an accessible format for the lay reader. The book was designed to demystify military statistics and the political mechanics of war, adopting a direct, objective tone. It was received as a functional handbook for analysts and enthusiasts alike, valued for its attempt to quantify the abstract concepts of military strength and combat readiness.
