Routledge Focus on the History of Conflict
About the Book Series
The history of war and warfare often contains events and episodes that in themselves took place over a relatively short period of time but which have developed wider historical resonance. This series of books, part of the Routledge Focus series of short form volumes, usually somewhere between the average length of a journal article and a monograph, sheds a light on key topics within the history of conflict - taking a broadly international perspective and with all eras represented.
Routledge will welcome new proposals for books in the series of less than 50,000 words. Please address any queries to Rob Langham at [email protected]
