01-16-2013 War in History moves away from the more battle-related and biographical narratives of traditional military history and attempts to put things in a broader context that accounts for political, economic, and social factors. Highly academic and scholarly, this publication looks for innovative approaches that can contribute new interpretations for all periods of warfare. Contributors are overwhelmingly historians, and the articles are all highly documented and researched. Recent articles include "Reappraising Late Medieval Strategy: The Example of the 1415 Agincourt Campaign," "The Kishu Army and the Setting of the Prussian Model in Feudal Japan, 1860-1871," and "Orphans, Converts, and Prostitutes: Social Consequences of War and Persecution in the Ottoman Empire, 1914-1923." An extensive book review section covers 10;b235 titles and greatly adds to the utility and scholarly quality of this journal. Highly recommended for academic library collections. (Straw, Joe)
