Abstract | Military history faces a dire fate. Fewer and fewer colleges and universities today regard the historical study of military institutions and practices a worthy social, and therefore scholarly, charge. John Lynn enters this debate, examining the state of military history, which he defines in terms of three genres: popular, applied, and academic. Describing the disdain many academics have for the values and opinions of those who seek to study the conduct of war, he also notes a few favorable straws in the wind. (Contains 24 footnotes.) (As Provided). |
