African Military History represents a relatively new and fast-growing sub-field bridging the previously wide gap between the well-established genres of African History and Military History. Based on a synthesis of existing literature and aimed at a wide readership, this book adopts a broad temporal range and uses select examples to highlight a series of points to cover the pre-colonial to post-colonial eras and offer examples from various parts of the continent. This volume evaluates controversial academic debates examining evidence, research methods, approaches, and changing historiographical contexts as well as pointing to potential new areas of research. It comprises seven thematic chapters on ways of war, weapons technology, navies, air power, battles, women combatants and genocide in African history.
This volume will be of value to students and scholars alike interested in Modern History, Military History and African History.
Reviews / Votes
"New Directions in African Military History maps a juncture of history that both Africanists and military historians have often overlooked. Stapleton brings a military historian's precision to some major debates about the African past. Empirically rigorous and conceptually innovative, this book will be enjoyed by newcomers and veterans of African military history alike."Samuel Fury Childs Daly, University of Chicago
"This is an unparalleled [book] in the field and one that will be beneficial, since there has not been a synthesis like this one before. New Directions in African Military History is going to be a valuable book to have and will be important for both scholars and teachers of African studies in general. Teachers of African history and African military history will find this book useful and I can see it becoming a popular text in classrooms."
Ben Twagira, History Department of Williams College

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
