 The editors align their military history first with the Braudelian vision, and then with more recent interpretations of Mediterranean history such as the “ecologizing” approach, the “interactionist” approach that spawned the “Mediterranean unity” interpretation, John Pryor’s emphasis on the technical challenges of navigation and the forces of nature, Rhoads Murphey’s underscoring unpredictability and “human elements”, and Stephen Morillo’s broadening of the definition of military history (1-6). These perspectives are grouped into five thematic sections that possess internally a fair measure of topical and chronological integration: naval activity, weapons and armor, strategy and command, military literature, and military roles within society (all being categories that fall within Morillo’s revisionist definition of military history). The contributors cast a wide net, even when discussing subjects that might seem arcane to the non-specialist. Pertany a aquestes sèriesHistory of Warfare (118)
The Mediterranean has always attracted the imagination of modern historians as the epicentre of great political entities, such as the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Ottomans, Venetians, and Spanish. However, it seems that the sea itself was always on the margins of historical inquiry ́ at least, until the publication of the famous two-volume work by F. Braudel in 1949. This collection of essays aims to offer a vertical history of war in the Mediterranean Sea, from the early Middle Ages to the early modernity, putting the emphasis on the changing face of several different aspects and contexts of war over time. Contributors are Stephen Bennett, Stathis Birtachas, Cornel Bontea, Wayne H. Bowen, Lilia Campana, Raffaele D ́Amato, Elina Gugliuzzo, Nikolaos Kanellopoulos, Savvas Kyriakides, Tilemachos Lounghis, Alan V. Murray, Chrysovalantis Papadamou, Jacopo Pessina, Philip Rance, Georgios Theotokis, Iason Tzouriadis, Ian Wilson, and Aysel Yildiz. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
