A monumental, groundbreaking work of history that shows how technological and strategic revolutions have transformed the battlefield—from the Spanish Armada to the War on Terror— and how mastery of these innovations has shaped the rise and fall of nations and empires
In War Made New , acclaimed author Max Boot explores how innovations in warfare mark crucial turning points in modern history, influencing events well beyond the realm of combat. Combining gripping narrative history with wide-ranging analysis, Boot focuses on four "revolutions" in military affairs and describes key battles from each period to explain how inventions ranging from gunpowder to GPS-guided air-strikes have remade the field of battle— and shaped the rise and fall of empires. Bringing to life battles from the defeat of the Spanish Armada to Wellington’s victory at Assaye, War Made New analyzes the Gunpowder Revolution and explains warfare’s evolution from ritualistic, drawn-out engagements to much deadlier events, precipitating the rise of the modern nation state. He next explores the triumph of steel and steam during the Industrial Revolution, including the British triumph at Omdurman and the climax of the Russo-Japanese war at Tsushima, showing how it powered the spread of European colonial empires. Moving into the twentieth century and the Second Industrial Revolution, Boot examines three critical clashes of World War II—the German army’s blitzkrieg, Pearl Harbor, and the firebombing of Tokyo—to illustrate how new technology such as the tank, radio, and airplane ushered in terrifying new forms of warfare that aided the rise of highly centralized, and even totalitarian, world powers. Finally, in his section on the Information Revolution, Boot focuses on the Gulf War, the invasion of Afghanistan, and the Iraq war, arguing that even as cutting-edge technologies such as stealth aircraft have made America the greatest military power in world history, advanced communications systems have allowed decentralized, "irregular" forces to become an increasingly significant threat to Western power.

上海科技版的译文水平不敢恭维。书中有大量军事术语,译者受专业所限无法准确译出,影响了原意表达,是为本书最大遗憾。建议找军事谊文出版社的内部版本来读,不光翻译质量高,印刷,装桢都比前者好得多,完全不在一个层次上。
評分2013-04-26 22:21:44 这两天无意中看到本好书,War made new(战争改变历史:1500年以来的军事技术、战争及历史进程,Max Boot著)。本来想随便休闲翻翻的,一看起来没停住。 我们中学时候,历史课讲过马克思的名言,大意是黑火药摧毁了封建时代和城堡政治。但是仅...
評分打仗是个系统工程,还是个不断修补,不断整体提升的大系统。 打仗需要钱,打仗的主体一般是国家,也就是国家需要钱,要创造财富,就不能是自给自足的小农经济,也不能任由银行和国家站在平等的地位上谈判。 打仗需要食物衣物,食物衣物需要运输,牵扯出铁路公路的建设。铁路...

評分如果拥有高于时代的技术,你会怎么运用? 去著书立说?去经商致富?都不是!只有把它运用于投资收益比最大的领域——战争中,才是最优的策略。因为战争是一切之王,它可以决定一个民族、一个国家的命运,也是历史的最终书写者。当我们在脑海中狂想这些问题的时候,其实也就是临...
