The new edition of The Cambridge Illustrated History of Warfare,
written and updated by a team of nine 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.
