The history of war is inextricably bound to the history of the world. Through a detailed exploration of 'world-scale' issues of warfare, presented within a chronological framework that spans human history, Jeremy Black skilfully illustrates this fact whilst providing the reader with other astute insights and compelling interpretations of war.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWar: A Short History\u003c\/i\u003e is a dramatic move away from the formulaic, western approach to military history. Too narrow in its focus on wars specific to the west and too simple because of an over-reliance on a technologically-deterministic reading of warfare, this approach has been rejected by Jeremy Black in favour of a global model that takes all factors into account when considering the strengths and weaknesses of a particular military tradition. This is a book that is as important for its relevance to current world issues of conflict as it is for its thorough consideration of a monumentally significant aspect of human history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Continuum","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45088280641687,"sku":"9781441155412","price":2307.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781441155412.webp?v=1767267292","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/war-a-short-history-9781441155412","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
