What is Military History?, 2nd Edition

Zbog domaćeg interesa za pisanjem i praćenjem vojne povijesti upućujemo na drugo izdanje knjige “What is Military History?” (autori: Stephen Morillo, Michael F. Pavkovic , izdavač: Polity, 2012, 180 str.) kako bi taj interes bio teorijski i metodološki što osmišljeniji.

Description

 

 

This clear, readable introduction to the popular field of military history is now available in a refreshed and updated second edition. It shows that military history encompasses not just accounts of campaigns and battles but includes a wide range of perspectives on all aspects of past military organization and activity. In concise chapters it explains the fundamental features of the field, including:

 

The history of military history, showing how it has developed from ancient times to the present; The key ideas and concepts that shape analysis of military activity; it argues that military history is as methodologically and philosophically sophisticated as any field of history; The current controversies about which military historians argue, and why they are important; A survey of who does military history, where it is taught and published, and how it is practiced; A look at where military history is headed in the future.

 

The new edition of What is Military History? provides an up-to-date bibliography and cutting edge new case studies, including counterinsurgency, and as such continues to be ideal for classes in military history and in historiography generally, as well as for anyone interested in learning more about the dynamics of a rich and growing area of study.
