About this product
Product Information
How has war shaped modern society and vice versa? How has it changed over the centuries between the introduction of firearms and the invention of the atom bomb? How is war waged today? This excitingly illustrated book examines the techniques, technology, and theory of warfare from the 'military revolution' of the seventeenth century to the present day. The expert contributors explore major developments and themes, including the extraordinary achievements of Napoleon's armies; therole of nationalism in battlegrounds as various as the American Civil War and the former Yugoslavia; colonial wars; the concept and reality of 'total war'; guerrilla warfare and 'people's wars'. The Oxford Illustrated History of Modern War offers a comprehensive overview of military conflict over several centuries, with fascinating thematic chapters covering air and sea warfare, combat experience, technology, and even opposition to war.

Reviews
'In a wide-ranging and beautifully illustrated collection of essays Charles Townshend has fully developed his thesis that modern war is the product of administrative, technical and ideological changes ... the volume adds considerably to our knowledge of the techniques, technology, theory, andimpact of modern warfare, and these essays will no doubt stimulate further thought.'Edward M. Spiers, University of Leeds, The Hisotrical Association 1998, 'the volume takes a commendably wide view of conflict and its implications ... the contributors go 'beyond military history' in drawing upon the particular concerns of modern scholarship in terms of the relationship between war and society ... this is a very competitively priced volume andwell worth buying.'Ian F W Beckett, The Society for Army Historical Research Vol lxxvii No 311 Autumn 1999, 'In a wide-ranging and beautifully illustrated collection of essaysCharles Townshend has fully developed his thesis that modern war is the productof administrative, technical and ideological changes ... the volume addsconsiderably to our knowledge of the techniques, technology, theory, and impactof modern warfare, and these essays will no doubt stimulate further thought.'Edward M.

This item didn’t come in exactly as pictured, but the seller responded immediately and was very gracious in offering me a partial refund even bough I wasn’t expecting one for what I paid for the item. I have bought from this seller before, and they are reputable and stand behind the products they sell. My other transactions with them have been perfect. Great communication. Packaging and price were good. Fairly fast shipping, too. Thanks.
