First published over thirty years ago, War in European History is a brilliantly written survey of the changing ways that war has been waged in Europe, from the Norse invasions to the present day. Far more than a simple military history, the book serves as a succinct and enlightening overview of the development of European society as a whole over the last millennium. From the Norsemen and the world of the medieval knights, through to the industrialized mass warfare of the twentieth century, Michael Howard illuminates the way in which warfare has shaped the history of the Continent, its effect on social and political institutions, and the ways in which technological and social change have in turn shaped the way in which wars are fought. This new edition includes a fully updated further reading and a new final chapter bringing the story into the twenty-first century, including the invasion of Iraq and the so-called 'War against Terror'.

Excerpt from Handbook of the European War As stated before, the Handbook is a book of fact, and not an argument for any warring nation. The con tentions of all are set forth without favor, as far as the material at hand permits. It has been impossible to allot as much space to Germany and austria-hungary as to the combination of the allied nations, because the statements and documents from the Dual Alliance which had reached the American press at the time of publica tion were very few. To avoid the appearance of favor ing any of the combatants, the arrangement, wherever feasible, has been made according to the alphabet.

Excerpt from Handbook of the European War, Vol. 2 Battles, incidents and events of the war have been practically ignored in making up the contents of this Handbook. While it might have been desirable to include accounts of some of the leading incidents, such as the sinking of the Lusitania, the Dumba affair or the, Zeppelin raids, to have done so would have enlarged the volume far beyond the space allotted to it.
