Which way to turn? Recent directions in writing about the American Civil War
The historiography of the US Civil War during the twenty-first century has pursued four directions or 'turns' - the operational, strategic, cultural and the 'dark'. The latter underlines the human cost of the war, death, disfigurement and suffering. It has adopted the British language of commemoration of the First World War in stressing the 'futility' of war. The essay explores the context of these 'turns' and assesses three significant contribut…
Eric Hobsbawm
Although out of sympathy with his politics, I have always admired the sweep and provocative tone of Eric Hobsbawm’s books. As Richard Evans remarks in his fluent and often compelling biography, Hobsbawm’s ability to spark ‘fruitful historical controversy’ in so many diverse fields proved to be ‘one of the outstanding features’ of his career (p. 249). Shortly after Hobsbawm’s death in 2012 numerous press notices appeared of ‘The Man Who Hated Brit…
The United States’ Entry into the First World War
The commemoration of American intervention in the First World War has excited far less interest than either the 150th anniversary of the Civil War or the 75th anniversary of D-Day. A welcome exception is Justin Olmstead’s tautly written and cogently argued monograph. He has not attempted an exhaustive discussion of all the episodes that resulted in this momentous event, but he has broadened its context by focusing on British and German foreign po…
The Great Partnership
A generation ago historians were inclined to underrate both the importance of Thomas J. (“Stonewall”) Jackson's relations with Robert E. Lee and the two men's talents. The interpretative pendulum has swung back in their favor. Christian B. Keller has produced a detailed study of their exploits that is likely to have wide appeal. He makes a persuasive case for the consonance of their military thinking: their joint awareness of the pressure of time…
Michael Dockrill
This short essay is a tribute to a significant scholar of the Versailles Treaty who did not live to see its centenary, Michael Lawrence Dockrill (1936-2018). It contains biographical information and the perspective of a long-standing friend and colleague who first met him in 1976. Dockrill's work on the Versailles Treaty sustained the more favourable view of it that had gained ground during the 1970s. Nonetheless, Dockrill held that the Versaille…

Readers of military history are fascinated by commanders, their challenges, doings and foibles and applaud or damn as the mood or historical fashion dictates. Military biographies pour from the pre

hen did war cease to be decisive? In his old age, Arthur Wellesley, the Duke of Wellington, expressed a preference for Waterloo over all his other battles because it brought peace to the world. During his later years the European great powers engaged in no great wars, and the greatest war fought between 1815

American Military History
I have enjoyed reading Wayne Lee's wide-ranging and stimulating discussion of the imperatives underlying the writing of much academic military history. It is perhaps worth stressing at the outset in a piece in a distinguished scholarly journal, written by academics for other academics, that many nonacademic historians write fine military history, and this is one of the subject's strengths. Whether they are former service personnel, civil servants…
