The present volume is a collection of themes rather than a history per se; it provides important perspectives on the emergence of warfare as a global historical experience from the ancient past to the present day. Drawing together numerous experts, it tells a broader, more inclusive story of the global, human experience with wars and warfare. The 35 chapters are organised in eight thematic parts: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart I: Origins of Warfare\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart II: Polities and Armed Forces in the Pre-Modern Era\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart III: Steppe Nomads of Eurasia\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart IV: Naval Warfare and Piracy in the Pre-Industrial World\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart V: The Impact of Gunpowder\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart VI: Transition from Industrial to Total War\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart VII: Wars of Decolonisation and Cold War\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart VIII: Postmodern\/New Wars\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese Parts offer an overview of the global experience of warfare to help readers understand how the wars and the militaries we see today have been shaped by historical developments across the globe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis handbook will be of great interest to students of military history, naval history, strategic studies and world history in general.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKaushik Roy\u003c\/b\u003e is Guru Nanak Chair Professor in the Department of History, Jadavpur University, Kolkata, India.
