Title: The Pursuit of Power: Technology, Armed Force and Society Since A.D. 1000 by William H. McNeill ISBN: 0226561585 Publisher: University of Chicago Press Pub. Date: September, 1984 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $16.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.75
Rating: 5
Summary: A series of wars punctuated by brief periods of peace
Comment: McNeill shows how military conflict and the advances in technology have stimulated mankind to better itself within the flux of a constantly changing balance of power. "Of War and Men" by Robt O'Connell also addresses this time honored conflict with a focus on culture, weapons technology and warfare.
A good read and an important book for those interested in a longer look at history and how we got here.
Rating: 4
Summary: Difficult but enlightening
Comment: A quick warning to anyone who takes up the chore of reading this book. It is quite difficult to get through without serious reflection and time. It is definitely an enlightening book on the course of the world (not just military history) and the last chapter is truly one for discussion.
Rating: 5
Summary: This is a "must read" for all interested in military history
Comment: Mr. McNeill has put together a comprehensive analysis of the development of military power over the past thousand years, and it just happens to also be tremendously fun to read.
