World History of Warfare is designed as a textbook for introductory
college courses in military history. The text covers worldwide
military history from ancient times to the present. Its principal
theme is an exploration of change and continuity, revolution and
tradition, in three thousand years of warfare. The work teaches
students and general readers how warfare evolved and how that
evolution affected human society, with emphasis on major turning
points in the conduct of warfare rather than a superficial general
history of wars. This volume addresses traditional subjects such as
generals and tactics, but each chapter also includes discussions of
the idea of war, the role of the common soldier, and the changing
interpretations of the military's place in society and politics. Of
special value is the authors' treatment of non-Western societies.
Too often military history has meant the study of warfare in
England, France, and Germany, especially as it was shaped by the
Napoleonic conflicts. In contrast, the authors of this volume
examine the role that military forces have played in shaping
societies worldwide. Purchase the audio edition.
