This book, originally published in 1980, is a study of the nature
and purposes of peace-time military organization in Europe, and of
the characteristics and outcome of the major wars fought during
these years. It charts the rise of mass armies and the role of
conscription as a socializing agent and a military instrument, as
well as discussing the growing involvement of society in war both
as agent and target of military activity, the mounting effort
required of a society in order to ahcieve victory, culminating in
the 'Total War' of 1939-45. Among other subjects explored are the
development of war economies, the genesis and significance of war
aims, the importance of social cohesion in modern war and the
impact of technology.
