{"product_id":"war-in-the-nineteenth-century-jeremy-black-9780745644493","title":"War in the Nineteenth Century: 1800-1914","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book provides an accessible and up-to-date account of the rich military history of the nineteenth century. It takes a fresh approach, making novel links with conflict and coercion, and moving away from teleological emphases. Naval developments and warfare are included, as are social and cultural dimensions of military activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeading military historian Jeremy Black offers the reader a twenty-first-century approach to this period, particularly through his focus on the dynamic drive provided by different forms of military goals, or 'tasking'. This allows echoes with modern warfare to come to the fore and provides a fuller understanding of a period sometimes considered solely as background to the total war of 1914-45. Alongside state-to-state warfare and the move toward 'total war', Black's emphasis on different military goals gives due weight to trans-oceanic conflict at the expense of non-Europeans. The book provides a deliberate shift from Western-centricity by taking into account a broader range of conflict, including irregular, internal and asymmetric war.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the very cutting edge of its field, this book is a must read for all students and scholars of military history and its related disciplines.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeremy Black\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 074564449X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780745644493\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Polity Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.90d","brand":"Jeremy Black","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46431313690879,"sku":"9780745644493","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bca62116-68f4-4654-99ea-241ee9042c01.jpg?v=1735140950","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/war-in-the-nineteenth-century-jeremy-black-9780745644493","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
