<p>This book encourages readers to grapple with broad questions of defence policy in the face of aggressive, revisionist powers that have at times arisen in military modern and contemporary history.</p><p><b>Professor Constantin Hlihor</b>, <i>Bucharest University, Romania</i></p>

Now in its fourth edition, Introduction to Global Military History is an accessible, up-to-date account of modern warfare from the eighteenth century to the present.The book engages with the social, cultural, political and economic contexts of war, examining the causes and consequences of conflict beyond national and chronological boundaries. It challenges the dominant Western-centric, technologically focused view of military history and instead emphasises the ranges of circumstances faced by both Western and non-Western powers and the absence of any one direction of development. The chapters present integrated discussions of land, naval and air conflicts, addressing continuities and the ways in which common experiences affected different spheres. This edition revises the text throughout, has increased focus on the developments of the 2000s and 2010s, and adds a new chapter on the 2020s.Supported by a variety of illustrations, maps and case studies, this study is a valuable resource for students of military history and general readers alike.
