{"product_id":"9781107385610","title":"The Dynamics of Military Revolution, 1300-2050","description":"The Dynamics of Military Revolution aims to bridge a major gap in the emerging literature on revolutions in military affairs, suggesting that there have been two very different phenomena at work over the past centuries: 'military revolutions', which are driven by vast social and political changes; and 'revolutions in military affairs', which military institutions have directed, although usually with great difficulty and ambiguous results. By providing both a conceptual framework and a historical context for thinking about revolutionary changes in military affairs, the work establishes a baseline for understanding the patterns of change, innovation, and adaptation that have marked war in the Western World since the thirteenth century - beginning with Edward III's revolutionary changes in medieval warfare, through the development of modern Western military institutions in seventeenth-century France, to the cataclysmic changes of the First World War and the German Blitzkrieg victories of 1940. This history provides a guide for thinking about military revolutions in the coming century, which are as inevitable as they are difficult to predict.","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47117322584304,"sku":"9781107385610","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781107385610_p0.jpg?v=1763690768","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781107385610","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
