This is a wide-ranging and comprehensive survey of warfare from the
outbreak of the American War of Independence to the British
conquest of Egypt. Drawing on both primary and secondary sources
this book offers an unrivalled account of civil and international
conflicts involving Western powers, integrating both naval and land
warfare. This book covers military capability as well as conflict,
social and political contexts as well as weaponry, tactics and
strategy. As well as examining such major conflicts as the
Napoleonic Wars, the Crimean War, the American Civil War and the
Wars of German Unification, this book redresses the imbalance of
previous treatments by examining other important conflicts, for
example, those in Latin America, as well as insurgency and
counter-insurgency in Europe. This book's global perspective
provides for a more reliable assessment of what constitutes
military capability. In so doing, the author challenges the
technological determinism and linear conceptions of developments in
military science that continue to characterise much of military
history. Instead the author reveals a much more complex dynamic,
indeed going so far as to question the idea of 'modernity' itself.
Bold in scope, and cutting-edge in its interpretations, this book
offers much for the student, general reader and professional
historian alike.
