War in history

This article explains the publication, for historical wars see List of Wars .

War in history ( Krig ) is a continuous - since 1999 Verlag Ferdinand Schöningh in Paderborn appearing - on military history book series . It was founded and is founded by the historians Stig Förster ( University of Bern ), Bernhard R. Kroener ( University of Potsdam ), Bernd Wegner ( Helmut Schmidt University / University of the Federal Armed Forces Hamburg ) and Michael Werner ( École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales ) edited today by Horst Carl ( Justus Liebig University Gießen ), Maria Fritsche ( Norwegian University of Science and Technology Trondheim ), Christa Hämmerle ( University of Vienna ) and Christian Koller ( Swiss Social Archives and University of Zurich ).

concept

The respective, predominantly German-language (occasionally English-language) works are published as collective works or monographs . Many of the publications were prepared  as dissertations or post- doctoral theses with the support of relevant research institutions such as the Military History Research Office (MGFA) ; some of them received prizes, such as the Werner Hahlweg Prize for Military History . The authors include military historians who appear as specialists in different epochs and areas of focus.

According to the foreword by the editors , the series feels committed to Carl von Clausewitz 's statement that war is the continuation of politics by other means. One wants to avoid a "military-immanent approach" and allow "methodological diversity" to prevail.
