Description

We learn powerful lessons about change when old paths are blocked and old solutions no longer solve the problems of the day. The truth in these lessons is driven home when the illusion of trench warfare as being a static enterprise is replaced with a view that incorporates a conflict on multiple levels that probes the relationship between the tools of war and the soldiers who employed these weapons along with a struggle with the environment.
