This textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to the strategic history of the past two centuries, showing how those 200 years were shaped and reshaped extensively by war. The book takes a broad view of what was relevant to the causes, courses, and consequences of conflict.The volume provides students with a strong grounding in the contribution of war to the development of the modern world, from the pre-industrial era to the age of international terrorism and smart weapons. Covering all the major wars of the past two centuries, the third edition has been revised and updated and now includes: - new introductory essays at the start of each section to help students recognise historical turning points and strategic themes;- revised and updated material on the post-Cold War period, accommodating new developments and contemporary perspectives;- new material on non-Western views on strategy, especially Sun Tzu;- a new chapter on 'The Age of Acceleration and Great Power Competition', starting with the death of Bin Laden and ending with the Ukraine crisis;- a new Conclusion, offering a synthesis between the message of earlier editions and the state of strategy today.This textbook will be essential reading for students of strategic studies, security studies, war studies, International Relations and international history.

This book is all about teaching more effectively using technology. It's about a new way to structure online learning which results in more engagement, higher completion rates and greater learner satisfaction. That, of course, leads to more action and more success.The best part is that the model also makes it easier for teachers. Learning is broken down, action based, learner focussed, and easier to create as a result.This model applies to working learners in all contexts, such as small business, education, corporations or charities. It applies particularly well to adult learners, but I believe it could also be very effective in schools and collges.If you want to create online courses which incite more action, success and satisfaction, then the Bite Sized Learning model is for you.
