  • A Savage War

    Williamson Murray, Wayne Wei-siang Hsieh et al.BOOKSavage War2016

    The Civil War represented a momentous change in the character of war. It combined the projection of military might across a continent on a scale never before seen with an unprecedented mass mobilization of peoples. Yet despite the revolutionizing aspects of the Civil War, its leaders faced the same uncertainties and vagaries of chance that have vexed combatants since the days of Thucydides and the Peloponnesian War. A Savage War sheds critical ne…

    Open AccessAllan Reed Millett, Williamson MurrayBOOKMilitary Effectiveness2010

    This three-volume study examines the questions raised by the performance of the military institutions of France, Germany, Russia, the United States, Great Britain, Japan and Italy in the period from 1914 to 1945.

These essays examine how Western belligerents have addressed – or failed to address – the making of peace across a span of two and a half millennia and in contests reflecting a broad range of prompting disputes. Some efforts produced at best a m…

    In today's military of rapid technological and strategic change, obtaining a complete understanding of the present, let alone the past, is a formidable challenge.
