What exactly is military history? Forty years ago it meant battles,
campaigns, great commanders, drums and trumpets. It was largely the
preserve of military professionals and was used to support national
history and nationalism. Now, though, the study of war has been
transformed by the 'war and society' approach, by the examination
of identity, memory and gender, and a less Euro-centric and more
global perspective. Generally it is recognised that war and
conflict must be integrated into the wider narrative of historical
development, and this is why Ian Beckett's research guide is such a
useful tool for anyone working in this growing field. It introduces
students to all the key debates, issues and resources. While
European and global perspectives are not neglected, there is an
emphasis on the British experience of war since 1500. This survey
of British military history will be essential reading and reference
for anyone who has a professional or amateur interest in the
subject, and it will be a valuable introduction for newcomers to
it.
