This compelling book provides the first global history of the
evolution of combined operations since Antiquity. Beginning with
amphibious warfare in the ancient world of the Romans, Vikings, and
Mongols, Jeremy Black advances through the Gunpowder Revolution,
the rise of maritime empires and the formation of nation-states,
the early Industrial Revolution and the adaptation of modern
technology to warfare, the twentieth-century world wars, the Cold
War, and concluding with the modern age of irregular and asymmetric
conflict. Black's informed and analytical narrative emphasizes
conflicts around the world, focusing not only on leading powers but
also regional combatants. His case studies include amphibious
operations in the Mongol invasions of Japan, the War for American
Independence, and the Gallipoli campaign of World War I. He also
explores the development and effectiveness of airborne operations
as a way to project military power inland. Offering a balanced
assessment of strategic, operational, and technical developments
over time, Black considers both the potential and limitations of
amphibious and airborne warfare-past, present, and future.
