Addressing the need for an authoritative reference work to make
sense of a rapidly growing and ever more complex corpus of
literature, Military History is a new title from Routledge's
Critical Concepts in Military, Strategic, and Security Studies
series. Edited by Jeremy Black ('the most prolific historical
scholar of our age'), it is a four-volume collection which brings
together the very best scholarship in a one-stop 'mini library' of
major works. Black avers that military history is increasingly seen
as a global enterprise and Eurocentric/Western perspectives and
paradigms often now appear questionable, if not redundant.
Moreover, a teleology of warfare leading towards the total warfare
of the twentieth century-the two world wars and the Cold
War-appears far less convincing, he says, in light of developments
since 1990. This kind of re-examination of long-held assumptions
about military history has guided the selection of materials, which
are organized chronologically, but with abundant cross-referencing
to enable users to pursue thematic approaches. The focus is on
major works published since 1990, first to centre on current
research, questions, and perspectives and, secondly, because
earlier literature can be followed through these pieces. Military
History is fully indexed and includes a comprehensive introduction,
newly written by the editor, which places the collected material in
its historical and intellectual context. It is an essential
reference work and is destined to be valued by scholars and
students as a vital research and pedagogic resource.
