Like all good things, including even Tolstoy's War and Peace, this blog must come to an end.
I will however, continue writing about world affairs, defence, and security matters in a new place.
In future you will be able to find my analysis here.

I'm Mark Urban, and I'm Newsnight's diplomatic and defence editor. I deal with war and peace around the world, so with apologies to Leo Tolstoy, that's what this blog will be called. No literary pretensions, just an attempt to drill down to the key issues - people around the world struggling for peace and security.

Interesting way of looking at it, from good to...?.
Better? Cheaper? Quicker? More inclusive?
But like all editorial these days, there seems a disconnect between the headline and the body copy, which of course may pass the skimming twitterer by.
Why (that dropped) 'must' it?
Maybe an analysis of this, using the experience of 'the move' gained thus far, may be educational?
One is sure readers might appreciate it. Especially as one of the main authors seems to have been locked in the bunker with the file named 'Beware of the Leopard' for a while now and, despite promises, seems still resolutely mute.
