long-term military developments, notably in the way war is waged and battle conductedthe relationship between war and transformations in the European international system
the linkage between military requirements and state developments
the consequences of these requirements, and of the experience of war, for the nature of society Adopting a clear chronological approach, Black weaves a rich and detailed narrative of the development of war in relation to transformations in the European international system, demonstrating the links between its causes and consequences in the military, political and social spheres.
