What is War since 1945 (Reaktion Books - Contemporary Worlds) about?
Review "Jeremy Black is a scholar of courage and spirit."-- Times Higher Education Supplement (Vernon Bognador Times Higher Education Supplement 20061201) "A detailed and invaluable guide to the variety of military experience since World War II . . . a good deal of very interesting information in this book on the evolution of war-fighting capabilities, from the development of nuclear deterrence at the beginning of the Cold War to the revolutionary changes brought by the increased application of computer networking and the advent of ''smart'' munitions that can be targeted with greater precision and lethality. . . . Perhaps the most significant contribution of this slender volume . . . is the attention Mr. Black pays to the many conflicts that have not involved the Great Powers. . . . They provide a fresh context for understanding the nature and causes of war in the 20th and 21st centuries. . . . Mr. Black is a serious scholar in a field that is imperfectly understood outside a small fraternity of specialists. His accessible account of a deadly serious human activity deserves wider attention that it is likely to receive."—Christopher Wilcox, New York Sun (Christopher Willox New
