SEST-630 History of Military Operations
Spring only
Bateman
What is war? How can we best understand it? What makes some militaries successful and others unsuccessful? This course explores these questions through the study of military history from ancient times to the run-up to the end of the American Civil War. Students will learn the basic terms and concepts of military operations and the methods of history and historical analysis and will apply them to multiple cases ranging from Ancient Rome through the Middle Ages, from Napoleon through the American Revolutionary and Civil Wars. The question of how war changes over time, and what appears to be immutable, are of particular interest. Concepts of military revolutions and revolutions in military affairs, as well as the evolution of naval technology, doctrine, and thought, will also receive special emphasis.
