I have been employed at the University of Hull since 2006, having previously worked as a lecturer at Reading University and King's College London (based at JSCSC). I have published in a number of areas in the discipline, including works on strategic theory, cyber strategy, military ethics, the campaigns on Alexander the Great, etc. I am the co-author of two of the leading textbooks in the discipline, 'Understanding Contemporary Strategy' and 'Understanding Modern Warfare'.
