War and Society

Aims & Scope

War & Society publishes high-quality scholarly articles on the causes, experience and impact of war.

Our articles feature original research based on archival, oral, and other primary sources.

While we publish articles dealing with the technical and operational aspects of warfare, our main emphasis is on the broader relationships between warfare and society.

Our articles range in time from Ancient Greece to the 21st Century, and highlight the diverse aspects of national and transnational operational and social military history.

We also welcome articles that reflect recent historical 'turns', such as memory studies, cultural history, and the history of emotions.

War & Society does not review books.
