The Changing Character of War
ISBN: 9780199596737 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 530 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Over the last decade (and indeed ever since the Cold War), the rise of insurgents and non-state actors in war, and their readiness to use terror and other irregular methods of fighting, have led commentators to speak of 'new wars'. They have assumed that the 'old wars' were waged solely between states, and were accordingly fought between comparable and 'symmetrical' armed forces. Much of this commentary has lacked context or sophistication. It has been bounded by norms and theories more than the messiness of reality. Fed by the impact of the 9/11 attacks, it has privileged some wars and...

To Arms
ISBN: 9780199261918 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 1248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This is the first truly definitive history of World War I, the war that has had the greatest impact on the course of the twentieth century. The first generation of its historians had access to a limited range of sources, and they focused primarily on military events. More recent approaches have embraced cultural, diplomatic, economic, and social history. In this authoritative and readable history, Hew Strachan combines these perspectives with a military and strategic narrative. The result is an account that breaks the bounds of national preoccupations to become both global and...

The British Army, Manpower and Society Into the Twenty-First Century
ISBN: 9780714680699 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. At the turn of the millennium, the British Army finds its position in relation to British society paradoxical. One one level it enjoys public support; it is seen as a highly professional organization in which the civil population has great trust. On another, its values are portrayed as out of touch with society; its policies or its behaviour in relationship to gender, sex and race are attacked in the press; society is seen to have changed, but the Army has not. The Army's response is that at least some of the differences betwen Army and society are necessary given that particular nature of...

The Direction of War: Contemporary Strategy in Historical Perspective
ISBN: 9781107654235 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 335 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The wars since 9/11, both in Iraq and Afghanistan, have generated frustration and an increasing sense of failure in the West. Much of the blame has been attributed to poor strategy. In both the United States and the United Kingdom, public enquiries and defence think tanks have detected a lack of consistent direction, of effective communication, and of governmental coordination. In this important book, Sir Hew Strachan, one of the world's leading military historians, reveals how these failures resulted from a fundamental misreading and misapplication of strategy itself. He argues that the wars...

European Armies and the Conduct of War
ISBN: 9781138129917 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Discussing the key issues of modern warfare, Hew Strachan's work examines the theory and practice of land warfare in Europe since 1700. Looking at warfare in the context of social and political change, Dr. Strachan interprets his subject matter as widely as possible, and European Armies and the Conduct of War considers the roles of air power and the impact of the United States on European military developments.

Financing the First World War
ISBN: 9780199257270 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. To Arms is Hew Strachan's most complete and definitive study of the opening of the First World War. Now, key sections from this magisterial work are published as individual paperbacks, each complete in itself, and with a new introduction by the author. This volume is the first full history of how the war was financed. It resulted in hyper-inflation in the 1920s and, in due course, in New York's displacement of London as the world's money market. Its effects are still with us today.

Big Wars and Small Wars: The British Army and the Lessons of War in the 20th Century
ISBN: 9780415361965 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This is a fascinating new insight into the British army and its evolution through both large and small scale conflicts. To prepare for future wars, armies derive lessons from past wars. However, some armies are defeated because they learnt the wrong lessons, fighting new conflicts in ways appropriate to the last. For the British Army in the twentieth century, the challenge has been particularly great. It has never had the luxury of emerging from one major European war with the time to prepare itself for the next. The leading military historians show...
