Originally delivered as a series of lectures at Trinity College, Cambridge, Military History is an important work for any student of the military and warfare, acclaimed writer J. W. Fortescue argues that the rise and fall of civilizations has nothing to do with peace, societies, or commerce, but rather with the subjugation of inferior nations by superior nations, achieved by moral force, which develops through self-discipline and self-sacrifice.

About the Author

John William Fortescue (1859–1933) was among a new group of military writers ushered in with the twentieth century. He was the librarian at Windsor Castle and historian of the British army. Fortescue wrote a number of books on military history, but he is best remembered for his tour de force on the British Army, which he wrote over the course of thirty years.
