Recenzii

'War Studies Reader is an exceptional collection of articles by the top figures in the burgeoning field of the study of war...an indispensable introduction for students interested in coming to grips with the multi-faceted nature of the study of modern conflict...War Studies Reader is well-suited to spark debate and spur thought regarding a field of historical inquiry that is reaching its full maturity.'
'This reader collects articles which both cover the historical development of war studies and speak to current debates inside and outside the field. The breadth of subject matter and approach ensure that all readers will be stimulated to consider 'war studies' anew. The articles have plainly been selected to spark individual thought and group discussion, and the book promises to become an essential stepping stone on the path to understanding the complex phenomenon of war.'
'The essays are thought provoking with a good introduction, together with the original War Studies reader entitled War (1994) edited by Lawrence Freedman, it should prove very useful to students of War Studies Courses.'
'This is an interesting and, on occasion, stimulating collection because it does not just contain essays on various aspects of the subject but papers looking at the field itself.'
