David J Betz is a Canadian academic and researcher in the field of war studies. [1] He is professor of war in the modern world at the Department of War Studies, King's College London, having joined the department in 2002.
Betz' 2024 book The Guarded Age: Fortification in the 21st Century [2] has been reviewed for the US Naval Institute, with reviewer Lieutenant Colonel Dillon Fishman describing it as "a trenchant social commentary that speaks to an audience broader than specialists". [3]
He has been broadly cited in British press for his statements on threats to British society, in particular for his public statement that the United Kingdom is likely to enter a state of civil war within five years from 2025. [4] Betz has featured on several widely viewed British podcasts, including Triggernometry, discussing the risk of civil war in the UK [5] .
