Volume IV of The Cambridge History of War offers a definitive new
account of war in the most destructive period in human history.
Opening with the massive conflicts that erupted in the
mid-nineteenth century in the US, Asia and Europe, leading
historians trace the global evolution of warfare through 'the age
of mass', 'the age of machine', and 'the age of management'. They
explore how industrialization and nationalism fostered vast armies
whilst the emergence of mobile warfare and improved communications
systems made possible the 'total warfare' of the two World Wars.
With military conflict regionalized after 1945 they show how
guerrilla and asymmetrical warfare highlighted the limits of the
machine and mass as well as the importance of the media in winning
'hearts and minds'. This is a comprehensive guide to every facet of
modern war from strategy and operations to its social, cultural,
technological and political contexts and legacies.
