"Volume IV of The Cambridge History of War offers a definitive new account of war
in the most destructive period in human history. Opening with the massive conflicts
that erupted in the mid-nineteenth century in the US, Asia and Europe, leading historians
trace the global evolution of warfare through 'the age of mass', 'the age of machine',
and 'the age of management'. They explore how industrialization and nationalism fostered
vast armies whilst the emergence of mobile warfare and improved communications systems
made possible the 'total warfare' of the two World Wars. With military conflict regionalized
after 1945 they show how guerrilla and asymmetrical warfare highlighted the limits
of the machine and mass as well as the importance of the media in winning 'hearts
and minds'. This is a comprehensive guide to every facet of modern war from strategy
and operations to its social, cultural, technological and political contexts and legacies."--Pub.
