This book offers an inviting survey of recent developments in
military studies from leading voices in the field.Deemed ""the New
York Review of Books for history,"" ""Historical Speaking"" has
emerged as one of the most unusual historical publications in
recent years, actively seeking out contributions from a pantheon of
leading voices in historical discourse from both inside and outside
academia. ""Recent Themes in Military History"" represents some of
the best writing on military history to appear in ""Historically
Speaking"" in the past five years.Using multiple formats - forums,
interviews, and individual essays - this collection provides
contrasting views on such topics in military history as the
existence and function of military revolutions in the past and
present, the experience of soldiering and combat, the particularly
violent and gruesome nature of twentieth-century warfare and
projections of nature of future wars. The ebb and flow of discourse
between contributors also illustrates how the study of history is
an ongoing conversation wherein discovery and debate lead to deeper
understanding and development of fresh opportunities for further
inquiry.The contributors are Andrew J. Bacevich, Eric Bergerud,
Jeremy Black, Max Boot, Jeffrey Clarke, Antulio J. Echevarria II,
Niall Ferguson, Colin S. Gray, T. X. Hammes, Victor Davis Hanson,
Max Hastings, Richard Holmes, Peter Paret, Geoffrey Parker, and
Dennis Showalter.
