Full Description
Culture, Power, and Security provides a timely collection of essays by a diverse group of historians grappling with the notion of "security" in different temporal and geographical contexts. The authors, ranging from senior scholars - including an award-winning military historian - to relative newcomers, examine a variety of new topics or ask new questions of older ones in the areas of religious, political, intelligence, military and foreign relations history. Drawing upon new approaches or archival sources, each author offers fresh perspectives and insight into the nature of national or international security, broadly conceived.This unique collection of essays, engagingly written and reflecting state-of-the-art scholarship, will be of value both to general readers and students of military history, diplomatic history and national and international security studies.
