Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Western interventions today have much in common with the countless violent conflicts that have occurred on Europe's periphery since the conquest of the Americas in the sixteenth century. Like their predecessors, modern imperial wars are shaped especially by spatial features and by pronounced asymmetries of military organisation, resources, modes of warfare and cultures of violence between the respective parties. Today's imperial wars are essentially civil wars, in which Western powers are only one player among many. As ever, the Western military machine is proving incapable of resolving political strife through force, or of engaging opponents with no reason to offer conventional combat, who instead rely on guerrilla warfare and terrorism. And, as they always have, local populations pay the price for these shortcomings. Colonial Violence aims to offer, for the first time, a coherent explanation of the logic of violent hostilities within the context of European expansion. Walter's analysis reveals parallels between different empires and continuities spanning historical epochs. He concludes that recent Western military interventions, from Afghanistan to Mali, are not new wars, but stand in the 500-year-old tradition of transcultural violent conflict, under the specific conditions of colonialism. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen; Leichte Verschmutzung / Farbtonveranderung. Popularne naucna kniha prinasi popis 24 nejvyznamnejsich bitev svetovych dejin od antiky az po soucasnost. Zachycuje je jako historicke udalosti v kontextu cele epochy, uvadi je do souvislosti aktualnich pro dnesek, zabyva se jejich pricinami i nasledky, jejich prubehem a popisuje jejich mystifikace a propagandu. Autori se nevyhybaji ani zhodnoceni obeti a technickym vojenskym detailum. Bitvy rozhoduji o vysledku valek a valky meni svymi dusledky chod dejin, a proto historiografie, ktera ignoruje dejiny vojenstvi, upada nakonec do nebezpeci, ze zkresli jejich obraz. Seriozni dejiny vojenstvi se ale nesmeji zvrhnout do podoby zaliby v uniformach a zejmena se nesmeji stat pouhymi dejinami bitev kdyz jsou nastesti za nami casy, kdy tupe odrikavani dat velkych vojenskych udalosti tvorilo pevnou soucast vyuky historie.\nJako stoupenci myslenky, ze vojsko a vojenske dejiny nejsou v posledni instanci samoucelne, zachycuji mezinarodne renomovani specialiste vyznam bitev pocinaje antikou az po soucasnost, zasazuji je do historickeho kontextu, popisuji a interpretuji jejich nasledky, jejich mystifikaci i obeti, ktere si vyzadaly, a to ve snaze prispet k tomu, aby byla valka konecne vyrazena z repertoaru reseni konfliktu mezi staty.…
