Description
A comprehensive overview into the unique cultural history of war. From the tribal struggles of early history to the campaigns of Alexander, Caesar and Napoleon, from the disastrous Second World War to the bloody conflicts of our present day: hardly anything has shaped the history of mankind, its institutions, values and ideas as much as the violent conflicts between states and peoples. When and how did the first war begin? Is it predetermined by nature that people fight each other? Why are war machines perfectly organised and almost all soldiers men?
Margaret MacMillan uses military conflicts from antiquity to the present to describe how they have shaped our past, our development, our view of the world and our self-image. Our language, our public space, our private memories, even great cultural treasures reflect the glory and misery of war. Its ambivalence lies in the fact that it not only destroys but also contributes to technical, organisational, political and even artistic progress. All this is revealed in Margaret MacMillan's great cultural history.
