"The expansion of trade and communication networks has been active since the fifteenth century and has had an undeniable impact on connecting military activity around the world. This fact is visible in the historical record, but has it in the last several decades transformed the historiography of military history? The Boundaries of War offers a discussion on whether the transnational turn in historical scholarship suggests that all warfare is derivative of larger global patterns, or if there are local, regional, or national "ways of war" that differentiate conflict within that certain geographical space, which historians should acknowledge. The chapter authors consider how much military historians should focus on local or idiosyncratic factors to explain their subject matter and whether they should consider global phenomena in their research"-- Provided by publisher.
