Rethinking Military History is a bold new 'thought book' that
reconsiders military history at the beginning of the twenty-first
century.
The chapters provide a valuable and concise survey of the main
themes in the study of military history from 1500 to the present
day as Jeremy Black reveals the main trends in the practice and
approach to military history and proposes a new manifesto for the
subject to move forward.
This must-read study demonstrates the limitations of current
approaches, including common generalizations, omissions, and
over-simplications. Engaging theoretical discussions, with
reference to specific conflicts, suggest how these limitations can
be remedied and adapted, whilst incorporating contributions from
other disciplines.
Rethinking Military History is essential reading for all those
with an interest in military history, and all who wish to take part
in moving the discipline forward.
