War offers a comprehensive exploration of armed conflict’s influence on society, politics, and culture. Edited by a leading military expert and published by Oxford University Press, this anthology brings together diverse voices—from commanding generals and frontline soldiers to historians and poets—to illuminate the enduring impact of war.

Through firsthand narratives and scholarly essays, readers travel from the fields of Waterloo and the battle lines of Gettysburg to naval clashes at Jutland and the devastation of Nagasaki. Civilian reflections on the Blitz and the complexities of Vietnam add further depth to this study.

Key themes include:

• Origins and motivations behind major conflicts
• Evolution of strategic and moral frameworks
• The human experience on and off the battlefield
• Changing nature of contemporary warfare

By weaving personal testimony with academic insight, this volume offers a nuanced view of war as both a destructive force and a catalyst for change.
