Summary: In this companion volume to ""Western Warfare, 1775-1882,"" Jeremy Black takes his analysis of modern warfare into the twentieth century.

Beginning with the British conquest of Egypt in 1882, this book goes on to examine the Spanish-American War of 1898, the Boer War and the Balkan conflicts leading to world war in 1914.
