War in the Modern WorldJHU Press, 2000 M10 2 - 414 páginas "A brilliant survey of the history of warfare" — B. H. Lidell-Hart The landmark survey of the social, political, military, and technological aspects of modern warfare from the Renaissance to the Cold War returns to print in a new paperback edition. "War in the Modern World marked a turning point in the historiography of war. Just as Keegan's The Face of Battle marked the transition to the socail history of the military, so Ropp's classic coincided with the first full flowering of what would later be called the 'new military history'. . . This is good, reliable history, told with clarity, wit, insight, and understanding. It rewards reading just as much as when the new military history was new." — |
