John Keegan believes that the history of warfare has for far too long been written either as a specialist study of 'war as the continuation of politics' or as a horror story. Its Place at the heart culture and the enormous variety of forms it takes in different societies has too often been ignored. The narrative of the book moves from the strangely ritualistic combat of Stone Age peoples to the Nihilistic destructiveness of mass warfare in the modern age. The author demonstrates how particular cultures and their styles of warmaking go hand in hand. He also attaches his analysis to the great changes in military technology - the discoveries of bronze and iron, the taming of the horse to the chariot and riding, the introduction of gunpowder and the mobilisation of science and industry to produce the waepons of mass destruction of the 20th century. A HISTORY OF WARFARE stresses that warmaking, for all its destructiveness, has been an inescapable feature of human culture since organised societies emerged. It also recognises, however, that man has consistently sought to limit the effects of his own capacity for violence and that now, in the nuclear age, he has no alternative to making limitation effective if he is to survive. The culmination of his arguement and the scope of the study on which it is based may provoke as much controversy as Paul Kennedy's ., Hutchinson, 1993, 3, London: Arms & Armour Press.

In the Battle of Britain and the Battle of the Atlantic, Germany sought to bring about a British defeat by pitting its servicemen against those of their enemy. The Night Blitz campaign was different; it saw the might of the Luftwaffe waging war on Britain's civilian population with the aim of causing material destruction and destroying public and political morale. Aerial attacks were launched against Britain for the remainder of the war, but it was between June 1940 and the early summer of 1941 that the most intense action took place. If the loss of life and property in this period failed to bring the nation down, then surely it could survive and win the war. In this finely structured study of the build-up to, and execution of, the campaign John Ray assesses the weapons and aircraft used, the strategies involved and the leaders of the combatant forces. While keeping the reader informed of the constant changes of tactics and policies employed, he notes the effects of the Blitz actions on British cities, their people, their industry and their `will to fight'. He ensures that the reader remains fully acquainted with both the civilian and military elements of the period. This volume of fresh and diligent research ensures that this subject will remain a topic of examination for the post-war generations. With the city and seaport damage caused by the Blitz now all but eradicated by modern construction, we might all too easily forget that while Britain fought off the threat of a seaborne invasion in World War Two its cities and people were not saved from the physical and mental damage of aerial bombardment. ., Arms & Armour Press, 1996, 5, NY: Bantam Books, 1998 Ex-Library.

Fay, 1982, 3, In his book Men Against Fire, [historian S. L. A.] Marshall asserted that only 15 to 25 percent of American soldiers ever fired their weapons in combat in World War II. . . .Shooting at the enemy made a man part of the "team," or "brotherhood." There were, of course, many times when soldiers did not want to shoot, suchas at night when they did not want to give away a position or on reconnaissance patrols. But, in the main, no combat soldier in his right mind would have deliberately sought to go through the entire ear without ever firing his weapon, because he would have been excluded from the brotherhood but also because it would have been detrimental to his own survival. One of [rifle company commander Harold] Leinbaugh's NCOs summed it up best when discussing Marshall: "Did the SOB think weclubbed the Germans to death?", Presidio Press, 6, Sourcebooks., Naperville, Illinois, 2006, 2006.
