The Changing Nature of Warfare: 1792 - 1945 (Cambridge Perspectives in History)

An easy read and very good introductory text for a student of warfare. I have used this with my A level class studying a module on warfare 1792-1945. Despite a few sweeping comments (not unusual in this field), I personally enjoyed the book and it will serve as a good reference in the future. You must expect some generalisations in a text that covers such a long period. It may be a little unfair to dwell on that point, because this is a great start for someone who knows little about the subject. Although the book follows a chronological approach, the key themes and patterns are clearly expressed under relevant headings that steer the reader throughout. This 'parachute' view of the development of warfare between 1792-1945 should inspire readers to do some follow up and dig a little deeper. Recommended.
