War H-C
by Jeremy Black (9780750924078)

This is a work of powerful synthesis and clear exposition from an experienced and well-established author. Jeremy Black looks at the importance of war in human history, paying due attention to the social and political contexts of war without forgetting that war is about fighting and that the factors which affect operational success must be duly considered. The driving force of this world history of war is the linkage between technology, politics and expansion. Jeremy Black's clear, chronological narrative takes the reader through the main world historical periods, highlighting the major developments in warfare, tactics, armoury and diplomacy which have influenced the way in which wars are waged. His final chapter looks at the future possibilities in an age of "virtual reality".
