War Made New
NB: As I have not read this book, this is not a recommendation.
War Made New: Technology, Warfare, and the Course of History, 1500 to Today
Author: Max Boot, Senior Fellow for National Security Studies
A CFR Book. Gotham Books - October 2006
640 pages - ISBN 1-59240-222-4 - $35.00
From the blurb:
Acclaimed author Max Boot explores how innovations in weaponry and tactics have not only transformed how wars are fought and won but also have guided the course of human events, from the formation of the first modern states, to the collapse of the Soviet Union, to the coming of al-Qaeda.
Boot argues that the past five centuries of history have been marked not by gradual change in how we fight but instead by four revolutions in military technology—and that the nations who have successfully mastered these revolutions have gained the power to redraw the map of the world. Boot brings these moments of transformation to vivid life through gripping combat scenes.
