Too often, in military studies and histories, the land, air, and maritime aspects are dealt with in separate books. This work integrates all aspects of conflict in a reasonable manner. It also strikes a necessary balance between the context and the events of the history of war and conflict in the past few centuries, not sublimating the actual history of events to the societal context of war." - Stanley Carpenter, Professor of Strategy and Policy, US Naval War College, Newport, Rhode Island "Jeremy Black does an admirable job in distilling a tremendous amount of information and making it comprehensible for students." - Lawrence Sondhaus, Professor of History at the University of Indianapolis 'This is a refreshingly wide-ranging treatment of warfare in the modern world, which testifies to Jeremy Black's impressive skills as a synthesist ... The range of examples is genuinely illuminating [and] the text is enlivened with excellent illustrations and some handy text boxes on particular case studies. These are deliberately designed to stimulate discussion.' -Keith Jefferey, The Times Higher Education Supplement 'Excellent. It integrates the land, sea and maritime aspects of conflict and strikes a reasonable balance between the context and the events of the history of war and conflict.' -Stanley Carpenter, Professor of Strategy and Policy, US Naval War College, Newport, USA 'An excellent stimulus to thought and to further study ... very good on the theoretical underpinning of military history, the distinction between wars and battles and the necessity of examining strategy in the political context.' -Daniel Todman, Lecturer in Modern History, Queen Mary University of London, UK 'The analysis is at a high level ... an impressive book. The focus on Asia is a significant improvement over its competitors.' -Michael S. Neiberg, Professor of History, United States Airforce Academy, USA, "An excellent book.
