In War in the Modern World, 1990-2014, Jeremy Black looks at the
most modern of conflicts from the perspective that war is a central
feature of the modern world. Arguing that understanding non-Western
developments is crucial if the potential of Western war-making is
to be assessed accurately, the book also asserts that knowing the
history of conflict can only help future generations. Black argues
for the need to emphasise the variety of military circumstances, as
well as the extent to which the understanding of force and the
definitions of victory and defeat are guided by cultural
assumptions. War has a multi-faceted impact in the modern world,
and this book shows its significance.
As the latest volume in the Warfare and History series, this
title takes a global and historical perspective on modern warfare,
enabling the reader to approach familiar conflicts through a new
analytical framework. This book is an invaluable resource for all
students of the history of modern warfare.
