Introduction to Global Military History: 1775 to the Present Day

by Jeremy Black
Introduction to Global Military History: 1775 to the Present Day - Thryft
Introduction to Global Military History: 1775 to the Present Day - Thryft

Global military evolution; challenging Western centric views.

If you have an interest in how warfare has shaped our world far beyond the battles and tactics, this read will be indispensable. This book takes you beyond traditional narratives, offering a more holistic view that weighs social, political, and cultural impacts alongside military events. It's thought-provoking, placing lesser-known conflicts on the same stage as those studied extensively, and is especially insightful if you're keen to understand how non-Western societies have influenced global military history.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

This lucid account of military developments around the modern world begins with the American War of Independence and the French revolutionary wars and continues chronologically to the latest 21st century conflicts. It combines determinedly global coverage with thought-provoking analysis not only of the military aspects of conflict but also its social, cultural, political and economic dimensions and consequences.By placing familiar events alongside the largely unknown, the reader is forced to reassess the standard grand narrative of military history that rests on assumptions of Western cultural and technological superiority. It will be essential reading for students worldwide, whether studying modern military history, modern world history, history and international relations or war and society.This fully updated second edition includes:chapter introductions and conclusions to assist study and revision'Voices of War' sourced extracts from the field of conflictcase studies in each chapter to support the narrative and provoke discussiona 12-page colour map section and over 20 other integrated mapsannotated references from the latest publications in the field
