Παρουσίαση
In this companion volume to ''Western Warfare, 1775-1882'', Jeremy Black takes his analysis of modern warfare into the twentieth century. As before, a distinctive feature of the author's approach is the coverage of both land and naval warfare as well as conflict within the West and between Western and non-Western powers. Beginning with the British conquest of Egypt in 1882, the book goes on to examine the Spanish-American War of 1898, the Boer War and the Balkan conflicts leading the world war in 1914. a revisionist account of the First World War is followed by a discussion of Western expansionism in the period to 1936. Jeremy Black offers a new and challenging interpretation of modern warfare that will be required reading not only for students of military history but for all those interested in the impact of war in the making of the modern world.
