Rezension zu „War: A Short History “
"'[A] successful enterprise in which [Black] ranges effortlessly from about 35,000 BC to the present in under 200 pages... Black feels that military history 'often lacks intellectual sophistication'. His own brief account of war through the ages is therefore an elegantly written and salutary corrective. 'Standpoint Magazine 'Black's coverage of military history contains extensive analyses... This book will be most useful to students in war studies programmes, as well as readers reflecting on the fascinating history of human conflict... An interesting and challenging book.
