In between the covers it is positively brimming with an extensive selection of photographs, posters and paintings from ..." |

Now, key sections from this magisterial work are published as individual paperbacks, each complete in itself, and with a new introduction by the author. The First World War was costly in treasure as well as lives. Before its outbreak many commentators reckoned that the great powers could not afford to fight or that economic dislocation ..." |
 | | The Changing Character of War(1st Edition) by Hew Strachan, Sibylle Scheipers, Audrey Kurth Cronin, Sir Hew Strachan Paperback, 576 Pages, Published 2014 by Oxford University Press ISBN-13: 978-0-19-968800-5, ISBN: 0-19-968800-1 "Over the last decade (and indeed ever since the Cold War), the rise of insurgents and non-state actors in war, and their readiness to use terror and other irregular methods of fighting, have led commentators to speak of 'new wars'. They have assumed that the 'old wars' were waged solely between states, and were accordingly fought between comparable and 'symmetrical' armed forces. Much of this commentary has lacked context or sophisticat ..." |
 | | Clausewitz's on War (Books That Changed the World) by Hew Strachan Hardcover, 256 Pages, Published 2007 by Atlantic Monthly Press ISBN-13: 978-0-87113-956-6, ISBN: 0-87113-956-1 "Perhaps the most important book on military strategy ever written, Carl von Clausewitz’s On War has influenced generations of generals and politicians, has been blamed for the unprecedented death tolls in the First and Second World Wars, and is required reading at military academies to this day. But On War , which was never finished and was published posthumously, is obscure and fundamentally contradictory. What Clausewitz declares i ..." |
 | | The First World War(Updated) by Hew Strachan Paperback, 384 Pages, Published 2006 by Simon + Schuster Uk ISBN-13: 978-0-7432-3961-5, ISBN: 0-7432-3961-X "A significant addition to the literature on World War I, which takes a global view of what has frequently been misperceived as a prolonged skirmish on the Western Front. Exploring such theatres as the Balkans, Africa and the Ottoman Empire, this single-volume work assesses Britain's participation in the light of what became a struggle for the defence of liberalism, and shows how the war shaped the "short" 20th century that followed it. ..." |
 | | The Direction of War Contemporary Strategy in Historical Perspective by Sir Hew Strachan Paperback, 335 Pages, Published 2013 by Cambridge University Press ISBN-13: 978-1-107-65423-5, ISBN: 1-107-65423-8 "The wars since 9/11, both in Iraq and Afghanistan, have generated frustration and an increasing sense of failure in the West. Much of the blame has been attributed to poor strategy. In both the United States and the United Kingdom, public enquiries and defence think tanks have detected a lack of consistent direction, of effective communication, and of governmental coordination. In this important new book, Sir Hew Strachan, one of the wo ..." |
 | | The Oxford History of the First World War(Illustrated) by Hew Strachan Paperback, 384 Pages, Published 2001 by Oxford University Press Illustrated ISBN-13: 978-0-19-289325-3, ISBN: 0-19-289325-4 "The First World War was a war of extraordinary intensity and one which has shaped the history of the twentieth century. It was the first conflict in which aeroplanes, submarines, and tanks played a significant role, the first in which casualties on the battlefield outnumbered those from disease. The USA's entry into the war and the part it played in the peace settlement signalled the arrival on the world stage of a new great power. The ..." |
 | | How Fighting Ends A History of Surrender by Hew Strachan, Professor Holger Afflerbach, Holger Afflerbach Hardcover, 520 Pages, Published 2012 by Oxford University Press ISBN-13: 978-0-19-969362-7, ISBN: 0-19-969362-5 "There are many histories of how wars have begun, but very few which discuss how they have ended. This book fills that gap. Beginning with the Stone Age and ending with globalized terrorism, it addresses the specific issue of surrender, rather than the subsequent establishment of peace. At its heart is the individual warrior or soldier, and his or her decision to lay down arms. In the ancient world surrender led in most cases to slavery ..." |
 | | Clausewitz in the Twenty-First Century(1st Edition) by Andreas Herberg-Rothe, Hew Strachan Hardcover, 328 Pages, Published 2007 by Oxford University Press ISBN-13: 978-0-19-923202-4, ISBN: 0-19-923202-4 "Clausewitz's On War has, at least until very recently, been regarded as the most important work of theory on its subject. But since the end of the Cold War in 1990, and even more since the 9/11 attacks on the United states in 2001, an increasing number of commentators have argued that On War has lost its analytical edge as a tool for understanding war. They have argued that Clausewitz was concerned solely with inter-state war and wit ..." |

The First World War was a truly global conflict from the start, with many of the most decisive battles fought in or directly affecting the Balkans, Africa, and the Ottoman Empire. Even more than World War II, the First World War ..." |

To prepare for future wars, armies derive lessons from past wars. However, some armies are defeated because they learnt the wrong lessons, fighting new conflicts in ways appropriate to the last. For the British Army in the twentieth century, the challenge has been particularly great. It has never had the luxury of eme ..." |

It was the first conflict in which airplanes, submarines, and tanks played a significant role, the first in which casualties on the battlefield outnumbered those from disease. It precipitated the collapse of the empires of Austria-Hungary and Turkey, and it promoted revolution in that of Russia.

 | | first world war, the Blackwood, P E et al. by Hew Strachan Paperback, 363 Pages, Published 2014 by Simon & Schuster Uk ISBN-13: 978-1-4711-4195-9, ISBN: 1-4711-4195-0 "The image of the First World War remains, for many, a cliché of young British lads-many of them budding poets-led to early deaths in muddy wastes by incompetent generals for reasons that were seemingly futile. Yet in this remarkably complete one-volume history, Hew Strachan posits that the war had become a "world war" long before the entry of the United States-indeed, perhaps even more than World War II, it continues to shape the politi ..." |

Britain was not the only country where shell short ..." |

Looking at warfare in the context of social and political change, Dr. Strachan interprets his subject matter as widely as possible, and European Armies and the Conduct of War considers the roles of air power and the impact of the United States on ..." |
