Joshua E. Kastenberg. To Raise and Discipline an Army
In recent years, scholars of U.S. and legal history have increasingly turned to the study of military justice and made it central to the analysis of the military and its relation to civilian society, culture, and politics. In the fine monograph To Raise and Discipline an Army, Joshua E. Kastenberg participates in this scholarly endeavor by offering a panoramic study of the activities of Major General Enoch Crowder and the officers of the Judge Ad…
Jan Martin Lemnitzer. Power, Law and the End of Privateering
In this excellent monograph, Jan Martin Lemnitzer offers a study of the first global norms of maritime war, created in the mid-nineteenth century. Seeking to rescue these norms from the condescension of posterity, Lemnitzer presents the regime of maritime law as a transformative instance of global governance that marked the universalization of the European Law of Nations, successfully regulated naval warfare for 60 years until its collapse in Wor…

Global Politics and Germany's Destiny “from an East Asian Perspective”
In his memoirs, published in 1919, Grand Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz, the former Secretary of the Navy and architect of the Wilhelmine battle fleet, claimed that it had been his great “fortune” in 1896 to receive a naval command abroad. Deployed to East Asia, he had been able to “take yet another look at the overseas interests of Germandom” right before the “takeover of the Imperial Naval Office and the inception of the naval buildup.” Appointed i…
Militarism in a Global Age
At the turn of the twentieth century, the United States and Germany emerged as the two most rapidly developing industrial nation-states of the Atlantic world. The elites and intelligentsias of both countries staked out claims to dominance in the twentieth century.
