BLACK, JEREMY (EDITOR). Great Military Leaders And Their Campaigns.
Thames and Hudson, London: 2009. First Edition. h Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book.
This large-format 2,500-year history of warfare is truly global in scope. Distinguished international historians and military experts provide an enthralling overview of the careers and leadership of the world's greatest commanders on land, at sea and in the air, from Cyrus the Great in ancient Persia to Vo Nguyen Giap in twentieth-century Vietnam. Uniquely, the story is told from the viewpoint of the leading protagonists and shot through with informed insights about changes in the nature of war, tactics and strategies over time and the varied issues of command. Getting to the heart of what makes a 'great commander' this is essential reading for anyone interested in military history. More than one hundred of the finest military leaders in history are covered in detail, whilst a comprehensive reference section brings the total number up to two hundred and fifty including Alexander the Great, Hannibal, Julius Caesar, Saladin, Chingiz Khan, Napoleon, Wellington, Nelson, Ulysses S. Grant, Erich von Manstein, Georgy Zhukov. So too are less familiar figures, such as bold Czech and Hungarian leaders of the Middle Ages; Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the 'Napoleon of Japan'; and Nader Shah, the Persian conqueror of the eighteenth century. Richly illustrated with photographs, contemporary portraits and battle scenes, and images of weapons and uniforms, and featuring more than one hundred and twenty specially commissioned full-colour campaign maps, battle plans and 3-D battle reconstructions.

BLACK, JEREMY. The War Of 1812 In The Age Of Napoleon.
University of Oklahoma Press, Norman: 2009. h Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book.
The War of 1812 is etched into American memory with the burning of the Capitol and the White House by British forces, The Star-Spangled Banner, and the decisive naval battle of New Orleans. Now a respected British military historian offers an international perspective on the conflict to better gauge its significance. In The War of 1812 in the Age of Napoleon, Jeremy Black provides a dramatic account of the war framed within a wider political and economic context than most American historians have previously considered. In his examination of events both diplomatic and military, Black especially focuses on the actions of the British, for whom the conflict was, he argues, a mere distraction from the Napoleonic War in Europe. Black describes parallels and contrasts to other military operations throughout the world. He stresses the domestic and international links between politics and military conflict; in particular, he describes how American political unease about a powerful executive and strong army undermined U.S. military efforts. He also offers new insights into the war in the West, amphibious operations, the effects of the British blockade, and how the conflict fit into British global strategy. For those who think the War of 1812 is a closed book, this volume brims with observations and insights that better situate this "American" war on the international stage.
