Warfare in the Twentieth Century: Theory and Practice

The twentieth century has been dominated by war and by preparations for war in a way that is unparalleled in history. This important new textbook highlights key themes of warfare throughout the world and emphasizes the gulf between the theory of war and its practice. The contributors are professional historians and strategists who consider the impact of war upon society, theories of insurgency and counterinsurgency and nuclear strategy, as well as more traditional topics' such as tactics and strategy on land, the role of sea power, the evolution of strategic bombing, colonial and revolutionary warfare. Each chapter discusses recent research on the topic and provides guides to further reading.

The year 1916 will long be remembered as the beginning of modern mass-death warfare where tanks and other industrial products quickly overran traditional troop formations. A new analysis of the notorious Battle of the Somme, using archives from both sides not previously available, finds that although there was tragic loss of many lives, the battle may have hurt the Germans even more than the British, and it taught an inexperienced British Army the hard way how to fight a modern war.
