“Chaliand is able to describe the great social and economic forces that lie below the surface as well as to paint subtle psychological portraits of the individuals who shape the direction of events. A Global History of War is history at its finest. It will undoubtedly change the manner by which military historians look at history and how they study it.” —Arnaud Blin, author of Wagram
