"This brief, provocative, and accessible book offers snapshots of
seven pernicious myths in military history that have been
perpetrated on unsuspecting students, readers, moviegoers, game
players, and politicians. It promotes awareness of how myths are
created by 'the spurious misuse and ignorance of history' and how
misleading ideas about a military problem, as in asymmetric
warfare, can lead to misguided solutions. "Both scholarly and
engaging, this book is an ideal addition to military history and
historical methodology courses. In fact, it could be fruitfully
used in any course that teaches critical thinking skills, including
courses outside the discipline of history. Military history has a
broad appeal to students, and there's something here for everyone.
From the so-called 'Western Way of War' to its sister-myth,
technological determinism, to the 'academic party game' of
once-faddish 'Military Revolutions,' the book shows that while
myths about history may be fun, myth busting is the most fun of
all." -- Reina Pennington, Norwich University
