How wars start, how they are won and what they leave behind.


General Patrick Sanders and Tom Newton Dunn first met in a war zone. Drawing on their real-life experience of armed conflict, they bring you the latest from Ukraine, Gaza and the dozens of other bitter struggles being fought across our increasingly divided planet.


From interviews with those on the frontlines to discussing the future of nuclear weapons and where Russia might next attack, the podcast also faces up to the biggest question - How ready are we for war right now, if we have to fight one?
