HIS 190 War and Western Society
Students explore the relationship between war and Western Society from the Greeks to the present. This relationship will be addressed by constructing a narrative and an analysis focusing on the evolving relationship among Western Society, armies and technology. Thus, the more traditional aspects of military history such as strategy, tactics, logistics and leadership will be placed in a broad framework. The course also will examine how the experience of warfare has been portrayed by historians, novelists and film makers.
