"It takes the sharp interdisciplinary mind of Wayne E. Lee to bring
together so much material over such a broad span of history and
make it not only intelligible but fresh and exciting to read. He
has given us a truly global history of war that will serve as one
of the standards in the field for years to come."--Michael S.
Neiberg, author of Dance of the Furies: Europe and the Outbreak of
World War I
"Wayne E. Lee's incisive overview of innovation in warfare
convincingly shows the importance of both technology and technique
in military competition. He skillfully embeds military matters in
their larger social, political, and economic contexts to provide
one of the very few world histories of warfare."--J.R. McNeill,
Georgetown University
"Waging War ranks as the most important survey of humankind's
warrior past in decades. This accessible and yet profound work is a
superb act of vision and of intellectual courage."--John Lynn,
University of Illinois
"Waging War is a far-reaching study of war that brilliantly probes
the theme of innovation. This important work deserves wide
attention."--Jeremy Black, author of
A Century of Conflict: War, 1914-2014
