Abstract

"Marignan, Tenochtitlân, Pavie, Panipat, Lépante, l'expédition de l'Invincible Armada, Breitenfeld, Rocroi, le siège de Vienne, le ravage du Palatinat, Blenheim, Poltava, Denain, Fontenoy, Leuthen, les plaines d'Abraham, Saratoga, Ouessant, Yorktown... Des noms qui incarnent les nombreux conflits qui agitent les XVIe, XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles. En trois siècles à peine, la guerre et la bataille changent d'échelle, de forme, d'intensité, d'espaces, d'acteurs, devenant une permanence du monde moderne, sur tous les continents. Elles étaient un art, elles évoluent désormais également en une science qui est l'affaire de "professionnels" : le monde entre dans l'âge de la poudre et du feu, des révolutions scientifiques et techniques, des mutations militaires, des innovations guerrières, tactiques et stratégiques, des transformations politiques, sociales, culturelles. Historien du fait militaire, François Pernot étudie avec minutie près de trente-cinq batailles de l'époque moderne parmi les plus significatives - celles ayant changé de manière certaine, voire irréversible, le cours de l'Histoire et/ou marquant une rupture dans l'art et l'histoire de la guerre, des guerriers, des États, des hommes et des sociétés, et pas seulement en Europe -, des guerres d'Italie à la guerre d'Indépendance américaine ; sur terre et sur mer, batailles de mouvement et opérations de siège, sur de multiples fronts, menées par de grands capitaines ou d'autres moins connus. Partant, il envisage autant de façons de faire la guerre et démontre avec brio qu'il n'y a en réalité aucune réelle césure entre l'histoire militaire aux époques moderne et contemporaine, sinon essentiellement dans l'armement. Une histoire globale de la guerre moderne, un futur classique."--Page 4 of cover.

Abstract

"The lamps are going out all over Europe. We shall not see them lit again in our lifetime." So said British Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Gray on the eve of the Great War in 1914. The Bolsheviks seized power in Russia in 1917; Spain was riven by civil war in the 30's, while Japan invaded China, and Mussolini invaded Abyssinia. World at War: 1914-1939 uses contemporaneous reports and photographs, including many eyewitness accounts, to show how these conflicts developed, describing the key battles, tactical decisions and turning points that settled the outcomes.

Abstract

Conflict is central to human history. It is often the cause, course and consequence of social, cultural and political change. Military history therefore has to be more than a technical analysis of armed conflict. War in the Modern World since 1815 addresses war as a cultural phenomenon, discusses its meaning in different socities and explores the various contexts of military action.
