The new edition of The Cambridge History of Warfare, written and
updated by a team of eight distinguished military historians,
examines how war was waged by Western powers across a sweeping
timeframe beginning with classical Greece and Rome, moving through
the Middle Ages and the early modern period, down to the wars of
the twenty-first century in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria. The book
stresses five essential aspects of the Western way of war: a
combination of technology, discipline, and an aggressive military
tradition with an extraordinary capacity to respond rapidly to
challenges and to use capital rather than manpower to win. Although
the focus remains on the West, and on the role of violence in its
rise, each chapter also examines the military effectiveness of its
adversaries and the regions in which the West's military edge has
been - and continues to be - challenged.
