Description:It has long been acknowledged that the study of war and warfare demands careful consideration of technology, institutions, social organization, and more.

Collected here are some of the most provocative recent efforts to analyze warfare through a cultural lens, drawing on and aggressively expanding traditional scholarship on war and society throughsophisticated cultural analysis. With chapters ranging from an organizational analysis of American Civil War field armies to the soldiers' culture of late Republican Rome and debates within Ming Chinese officialdom over extermination versus pacification, this one volume provides a full range of case studies of how culture, whethersocietal, strategic, organizational, or military, could shape not only military institutions but also actual battlefield choices.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
