The History of War

di David Rollason (Autore)

David Rollason, 2025

War has been one of the greatest constants throughout human history. It has defined empires, destroyed civilisations, advanced technology, and rewritten borders. While peace remains the ultimate goal of every generation, conflict has repeatedly reshaped the world we live in. The History of War explores sixty major conflicts from the thirteenth century to the present day, tracing how motives, methods, and consequences have evolved through time. This book does not glorify war. It examines it. From the crusades and revolutions to the world wars and modern conflicts, each chapter presents an honest account of what happened, why it happened, and what changed as a result. The intention is to understand how power, belief, and fear have driven humanity to fight, and how each war has left a lasting mark on society. Readers will discover recurring themes that echo across centuries: ambition, revenge, faith, resources, and ideology. These patterns reveal more about human nature than about politics or geography. Every conflict, regardless of scale, has contributed to the complex story of civilisation and the balance between destruction and progress. By studying war, we also study ourselves. This book invites reflection on the lessons that history has offered, often at a tremendous cost. Through understanding the causes and outcomes of past wars, perhaps future generations can make wiser choices, recognising that while war may be part of our history, it does not have to define our future.
