Interview #734: Wanderer Fantasy Convention - “Wars of the Future” with Robert Jordan, Entry #2

Question

Mr. Jordan, you’re writing a lot about wars, about the psychology of man in war. Is this a consequence of your experience in Vietnam?

Robert Jordan

No, my knowledge of strategy and tactics, knowledge of the causes and possible course of the war is more related to history. It is true that I was a soldier and I had to fight to the battlefield, and then (I was young and stupid) I was expecting much from a military career, but now I have realized that in order to study the human perception of the war in the future and maybe even the changes in military affairs in general, we must first look at how war has been perceived in the past.
