Description

War in European History by Michael Howard provides a comprehensive survey of the changing ways that war has been waged in Europe over the past millennium. From the Norse invasions to the present day, this book offers a succinct and enlightening overview of how warfare has shaped the history of the Continent. The author explores how warfare has influenced social and political institutions, as well as technological and social change, which in turn have shaped the way wars are fought. This updated edition includes a fully revised further reading section and a new final chapter bringing the story into the twenty-first century, covering topics such as the invasion of Iraq and the "War against Terror". By examining the development of European society over time, War in European History offers valuable insights into the complex relationships between war, technology, and social change.
