Its primary objective is to raise awareness about the mechanisms through which myths are generated by the falsified misuse and ignorance of historical events, as well as the potential consequences of misleading perceptions about military challenges, such as asymmetric warfare, which can lead to misguided solutions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Both scholarly and engaging, this book serves as an excellent complement to courses in military history and historical methodology. In fact, it can be effectively utilized in any course that fosters critical thinking skills, extending beyond the realm of history. Military history possesses a wide appeal to students, and there is something of value for everyone within its pages. From the so-called Western Way of War to its counterpart myth, technological determinism, to the oft-repeated ‘academic party game of once-faddish ‘Military Revolutions, the book demonstrates that while myths about history may be entertaining, debunking them is undoubtedly the most enjoyable experience.” —Reina Pennington, Norwich University\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 404g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 228 x 152 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781647920449\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44097326579962,"sku":"9781647920449","price":46.64,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1671796514024_book.jpg?v=1671888701","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/seven-myths-of-military-history-9781647920449","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
