Recenzii

"This readily accessible book offers a clear and up to date account of military history,one that is highly pertinent in these troubled times. The second edition is a good instance of how best to keep books relevant and clear. Strongly recommended."
- Jeremy Black, author of Air Power: A Global History
"This new edition brings the work up-to-date through an expanded introduction and the most recent events in international diplomacy and the Global War on Terror, probing into vital questions of national identity formation, technology, unofficial military tradition, and additional international context—from Queen Anne’s War to the effects of the Russo-Japanese war."  
- Ellen D. Tillman, Associate Professor of History at Texas State University and author of Dollar Diplomacy by Force: Nation-Building and Resistance in the Dominican Republic
"Authoritative and well written, WAYS OF WAR is a truly cutting edge survey of American military history. Packed with compelling narratives and crisp insights, this is not so much a traditional text book as a personal guided tour by two leading scholars through our military past. An excellent book and one that is certain to become a classic."
- John C. McManus, Ph.D., Curators' Distinguished Professor of U.S. Military History, Missouri S&T, Author of Grunts: Inside the American Infantry Combat Experience, World War II Through Iraq
"Matthew S. Muehlbauer and David J. Ulbrich have produced an admirable text built around Russell Weigley’s framework in his now classic American Way of War (...) Highly recommended for all audiences, not just college undergraduate and graduate students."

"The sheer scope of the text is impressive, yet it does not descend overmuch into the weeds of battles and military trivia, instead remaining focused on how conflict involving Americans, and not just European Americans, has evolved over the years."
- Dr. John T. Kuehn, U.S. Army Command and General Staff College, USA

“It is an impressive undertaking to chronicle the breadth of American military history in a single volume, and Muehlbauer and Ulbrich make a significant contribution to the literature in their effort.”
“Around 1980, an increasing number of scholars began moving away from the traditional military history of battles and tactics in order to pay greater attention to the interaction between war and broader society. The “war and society” approach embraces a host of cultural, domestic, gender, economic, political, environmental, and other issues which transcend military history’s traditional focus on the conduct of armed forces, particularly how they fight.”
-Kevin Dougherty, The Citadel Charleston, South Carolina
