Beyond the Battlefields explores the relationship between warfare and society in the Graeco-Roman world through the various lenses of history, art, literature and archaeology. The study of ancient warfare often evokes images of crusty old scholars pouring over battle tactics and strategy. This book, a collection of thirteen essays by young scholars, examines the political, social, economic and artistic affects of war in ancient society in Greece and Rome, from Homeric times to the sixth century AD. Essays focus on a wide range of topics from espionage and ancient spin doctors to fantasies of peace in the Iliad and triumphal plants. Each article in this book presents the next scholarly generation’s new and dynamic approach to ancient warfare and seeks to demonstrate how much there is still to learn and understand about ancient society and warfare if we venture beyond the battlefields. “This volume represents a new wave of interest in warfare as a far more than merely military phenomenon.” Professors Brian Campbell and Hans Van Wees, excerpt from the Introduction.

Bringing together 12 essays and lectures spanning a period of fifteen years, Blight (history and black studies, Amherst College) explores three primary concerns: the meaning of the American Civil War, the nature of African American history and the significance of race in American history generally, and the character and purpose of the study of historical memory. Along the way, he touches upon such topics as the tangled relationship between the memory of the Civil war and the memory of black emancipation, the leadership and relationship of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass, W.E.B. Du Bois's contribution to historical memory, Ken Burn's treatment of the Civil War, and controversies over battlefield remembrances and memorial constructions.

Beyond the Battlefield: The New Military Professionalism presents the nature and character of military professionalism. This book describes the increasing tendency for the military to view professionalism mainly in terms of military skills. Organized into five parts encompassing 13 chapters, this book begins with an overview of the various concepts and definitions of military professionalism. This text then reexamines military professionalism in the post-Vietnam era with regard to perspectives on value convergence and empathy between military and society. Other chapters consider the changes in the international security environment and the complexity of national security policy. This book discusses as well the demands on the profession as a result of the changed security environment. The final chapter deals with the essential factors that establish the military mindset and world view, as well as determine the quality of civil–military relations. This book is a valuable resource for military professionals and sociologists.

Poetry. Art. Photography by Zolt Asta. BATTLEFIELDS is a book collaboration between Anne Murray and Zolt Asta (birth name; Zsolt Asztalos). The photographic works presented are the sites of battlefields from WWI and WWII in Hungary and Italy and were created by Asta independently upon visits to these locations. These works are his means of personalizing a shared history; a presence of the deepest human experiences of life and death; pain and survival. Through the photographs of Asta; poems emerged and were composed by Murray in a direct connection to these presentations; without the work of Asta; these poems would not have been born. Asta's production of recording these memories becomes an edited version of history through his perspective and unique emotional and psychological interaction as a production of mental landscapes. This formation of mental landscapes has also been termed scientifically as memory mapping; which includes both editing and personalizing the process of recording memory and its recollection. These photographs are a continuation of thematic perceptions and investigations; which Asta began under his birth name; Zsolt Asztalos; with his series; Fired but Unexploded; at the 55th Venice Biennale in 2013 in the Hungarian Pavilion; where he was selected to represent his country with this solo show installation.

What is -- or makes a place -- a 'historic battlefield'? Treating battles as events in the past and battlefields as places in the present, and drawing on examples from prehistory to the 20th century, this book exposes the complexity of the concept of a historic battlefield and how it forms part of a Western understanding of the world.
