Product Review
An great book. Too often, in military studies and histories, the land, air, and maritime aspects are dealt with in separate books. This work integrates all aspects of conflict in a reasonable manner. It also strikes a necessary balance between the context and the events of the history of war and conflict in the past few centuries, not sublimating the actual history of events to the societal context of war.
.
–Stanley Carpenter, Professor of Strategy and Policy, US Naval War College, Newport, Rhode Island
A lucid and succinct account of military developments around the modern world that combines a truly global coverage of events with thought-provoking analysis. By juxtaposing the familiar with the previously neglected or largely unknown, Jeremy Black forces the reader to reassess the standard grand narrative of military history that rests on assumptions of western cultural and technological superiority. .. It should have a wide market on world history courses that are increasingly common parts of American, British and Australian university programmes..
– Professor Peter H. Wilson, University of Sunderland, UK
The analysis is at a high level an impressive book. The focus on Asia is a significant improvement over the book's competitors.
–Michael S. Neiberg, Professor of History, United States Airforce Academy
Jeremy Black does an admirable job in distilling a awesome amount of information and making it comprehensible for students..
–Lawrence Sondhaus, Professor of History and Political Science at the University of Indianapolis
Excellent very good on the theoretical underpinning of military history, the distinction between wars and battles and the necessity of looking at strategy in the political context. It is clear and concise on tactical and operational developments and their basis in culture and society as well as the military context the recommended reading is helpful throughout. It serves as an great stimulus to thought and to further study. Professor Black is to be congratulated on his achievement..
–Dan Todman, Lecturer in Modern History, Queen Mary University of London
Product Description
This lucid account of military developments around the modern world begins with the American War of Independence and the French revolutionary Wars and continues chronologically to the latest conflicts in the 2000s. It combines global coverage with thought-provoking analysis dealing not only with the military aspects of conflict but also with the social, cultural, political and economic aspects and consequences of such conflict. By placing the familiar or known alongside the largely unknown, the reader is forced to reassess the standard grand narrative of military history that rests on assumptions of Western cultural and technological superiority. It will be essential reading for students in universities worldwide whether studying modern military history, modern world history, history and international relations or war and society.
Specially designed to be user-friendly, Introduction to Military History offers:
* chapter introductions and conclusions to assist study and revision
* "voices of war" sourced extracts from the field of war
* case studies in each chapter to support the narrative and provoke discussion
* vivid engravings, plans, paintings and photographs to bring the conflicts alive
* a 12-page color map section plus 21 other integrated maps
* annotated references from the latest publications in the field
