{"product_id":"war-a-short-history","title":"Jeremy (University of Exeter, UK) Black: War: A Short History [2010] paperback","description":"This is the definitive introductory study of war. Professor Black introduces the subject in a broad manner, ranging across historical time periods and geographical boundaries. In this concise history of war, Jeremy Black ranges widely, giving due attention to non-western as well as western traditions. 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. \"War: A Short History\" 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.\u003cbr\u003eThis is a book that is as important for its relevance to current world issues of conflict as it is for its through consideration of a monumentally significant aspect of human history.","brand":"Black, Jeremy (University Of Exeter, Uk)","offers":[{"title":"Good","offer_id":49027439231315,"sku":"XG81441155412","price":7.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/black-jeremy-university-of-exeter-uk-war-a-short-history-xg81441155412-57370614956371.jpg?v=1726426753","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.com\/products\/war-a-short-history","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
