'This final volume of The Cambridge History of War poses perhaps a greater challenge to its editors than any of its predecessors, but they have met it with total success. The years it covers, from the mid-nineteenth century to the present day, have seen the greatest transformation in society in the history of mankind, and war has been transformed with it It would be invidious to single out individual chapters for commendation. All are by well-chosen experts but the real credit must go to the editors who planned the book, selected a team so uniquely well qualified to write it and provided an excellent bibliography.' International Affairs 'This is a pretty amazing book The speed of this ambitious romp through history is sometimes breathtaking.' Thomas Ricks, Foreign Policy (foreignpolicy.com) 'A cultural history of war that is based on the latest scholarship and state-of-the-art conceptualization. an outstanding collective achievement.' Benjamin Ziemann, H-Soz-u-Kult
