Rethinking Military History by Jeremy Black offers a critical and wide-ranging reassessment of how military history is studied and understood. Challenging traditional narratives that prioritise technology and Western perspectives, Black argues for a broader, more nuanced interpretation that incorporates political, cultural, and global contexts.
Covering developments from the early modern period to the present day, the book explores key themes including the nature of warfare, the role of technology, and the importance of strategic objectives. It also highlights the limitations of conventional approaches and proposes new directions for the discipline.
Accessible yet scholarly, this work is an essential read for students, historians, and anyone interested in the evolving study of warfare and military history.
