'Lively, ingenious and original' – Sir Lawrence FreedmanDiscover the new science behind warfare. From Dr Nicholas Wright, leading neuroscientist and adviser to the Pentagon.

Why did France lose to the Nazis, despite its defenders having more tanks, troops, and guns? How did Ukraine repel Russia’s initial onslaught? How do you know if you can trust an ally? How can we make clearer decisions under pressure?In Warhead, Nicholas Wright takes us on a fascinating journey through the brain to show you why, if you want to understand warfare, you must first look inside your own head. Drawing on his work as a neuroscientist, and over a decade advising the Pentagon and the UK Government, he reveals how, whether we like it or not, the brain is wired for conflict – in the office or on the battlefield.

With a unique framework that helps explain today’s rising tensions and how to defuse them, Warhead brings cutting-edge research to life through battle stories from across history. What was it like for a foot soldier at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815? How could Shaka Zulu or Winston Churchill see through the fog of conflict, make better decisions, and communicate with their troops? How will human conflict shape our future technologies?In an increasingly dangerous world that threatens our values and success, Warhead is an essential read to understand why we fight, lose and win wars.

'A mind-expanding journey . . . invigorating, educational and entertaining' – Peter Pomerantsev, author of How to Win an Information War

a basic watch.
Color: black
at $10.00 i figured id give it a try. it looks and feels like a garmin instinct on your wrist but not quite as nicely made. The bands are so-so but not bad more plasticy than rubber but not uncomfortable. It says its waterproof at 5bar (swimming) which will be tested the day after receiving. buttons feel okay and it seems to keep okay time. the alarm function works well and seems plenty loud enough. cant speak to the durability yet but i dropped it on concrete intentionally and it held up okay. will report back in a couple days with a more comprehensive review. Update, 2 weeks after purchase: the alarm works well enough, pretty much like any other watch. its certainly waterproof in a reasonable degree. i took it for a swim at the pool and dived to the bottom. pressed a couple buttons to see how it would hold up. took it like a champ 8 ft under the water. it also seems to keep pretty good time. since setting it has not gained or lost time. seems like a good 10 dollar watch in a nice looking and functional package.

Great watch for a great price
Color: green
Probably one of my favorite products that I have ever bought from Amazon. I wear it every day. I love all the functions on the watch and I love that it is truly water proof. I haven't been in a position to submerge it under water but in the shower it is completely fine. Very durable and easy to clean.

Great watch, wish I had a replacement band.
Color: black
the watch does a good job to display all the info I need at a glance, time, day, and date. No problems holding up to heavy wear and cleans easily. The controls are somewhat confusing but I can make it work with a bit of trial and error. After 2 years with mine the band broke and I bought a replacement watch since I'm so used to this one and they're cheap as dirt.
