The twentieth century was dominated by war and by preparations for
war in a way that is unparalleled in history. Originally published
in 1988, this textbook highlights key themes of warfare throughout
the world and emphasizes the gulf between the theory of war and its
practice. The contributors are professional historians and
strategists who consider the impact of war upon society, theories
of insurgency and counter-insurgency and nuclear strategy, as well
as more 'traditional topics' such as tactics and strategy on land,
the role of sea power, the evolution of strategic bombing, colonial
and revolutionary warfare. Each chapter discusses recent research
on the topic and provides guides to further reading. Together they
give a clear up-to-date overview of the conflicts which dominated
the twentieth century. This textbook is useful reading for all
students and teachers of strategic and war studies, military
history and international relations and for all those concerned
with the study of major conflicts in the twentieth century.
