The fascinating range of case studies shows that cultures of war are recoverable--and well worth recovering--from Assyrian times to the present and from all over the globe."-Stephen Morillo, Professor of History, Wabash College, "No future discussion of this fraught topic will be complete without this collection of essays. Vivid arguments, telling points, striking reformulations: this will be a standard work for decades."-Robert Citino, author of "The German Way of War: From the Thirty Years' War to the Third Reich", "This book provides the best introduction yet published to the wide and exciting study of war and culture.
