The Encyclopedia of Modern Warfare: From the Crimean War
Woodhouse, William
1992 10018027 Editorial Reviews From Library Journal British military specialists Macksey and Woodhouse have produced a handy compendium of warfare over the past 150 years. The work's focus is on campaigns and battles from the Crimean War to the U.S. invasion of Grenada. It also includes comprehensive entries on specialized areas such as technology, low-intensity conflict, and the laws of war. Extensive and intelligent cross-referencing enhances the value of a well-written text complemented by over 80 maps and a useful chronology. Specialists will find nothing new in these pages. The clarity and accessibility of familiar material nevertheless makes this a useful desk reference compared to the latest edition of R. Ernest and Trevor N. Dupuy's formidable The Encyclopedia of Military History (HarperCollins, 1986. 2d ed.). - D.E. Showalter, U.S. Air Force Acad., Colorado Springs Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc. Product Description Since the mid-19th century the art and practices of war, spurred on by the revolution in technology, have changed fundamentally and at increasing speed. It has therefore become supremely difficult to keep abreast of current events and to remain aware of the implications of past developments. This encyclopaedia provides a compact guide to the events and developments of the past 150 years, covering the principal wars, campaigns, battles and personalities of the period, together with descriptions of evolving strategy, tactics and intelligence handling. It also provides background knowledge on logistics, weapons and technology, military philosophy and the laws of war. Viking Adult 0-670-82698-7 / 9780670826988
