Abstract
Lieutenant General Nikolai Nikolayevich Golovin (1875–1944) is considered one of the leaders of the Russian émigrés in the interwar period. During this time, he published extensively, focusing on military history, strategy and military science. Considered by present-day Russian strategists as a distinguished Russian military scientist, Golovin mainly focused on the meaning of what had happened during World War I for the science of war, trying to develop this science further. This chapter is based on the translation of selected chapters from his Nauka o voyne: O sotsiologicheskom izuchenii voyny [The Science of War: On Sociological Research into War], in which he tries to justify and promote his idea that an analysis of war should be the examination of war as a phenomenon of social life, and not only an analysis of ways to wage wars.
