Warfare in the Western World: Military Operations from 1600 to 1871

Editorial Reviews
Book Description

Authoritative and concise, Warfare in the Western World concentrates on selected campaigns and battles, showing how political and military leaders in the West have used armies to wage war effectively over the last four centuries. The text moves through the centuries, discussing how operational developments, as well as such technological improvements as the rifled weapon and the railroad, eventually led to the concept of total war, first approached in the American Civil War and culminating in the twentieth century's two world wars. The authors then demonstrate how the nuclear age has ushered in a new era of limited warfare.
