War in History

Aims & Scope

War in History journal takes the view that military history should be integrated into a broader definition of history, and benefits from the insights provided by other approaches to history.

Recognising that the study of war is more than simply the study of conflict, War in History embraces war in all its aspects: -Economic- Social- Political- Military.

Articles include the study of naval forces, maritime power and air forces, as well as more narrowly defined military matters.

There is no restriction as to period: the journal is as receptive to the study of classical or feudal warfare as to Napoleonic.

This fully peer reviewed journal provides you with a continuous update on war in history over many historical periods.
