I’m delighted to say that Max Boot will be guest-blogging here this week. Max is a Senior Fellow in National Security Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York, a weekly foreign-affairs columnist for the Los Angeles Times, a contributing editor to The Weekly Standard, and a regular contributor to The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Foreign Affairs.
Max will be blogging mostly about his new book, War Made New: Technology, Warfare, and the Course of History, 1500 to Today (Gotham Books); he’s also the author of The Savage Wars of Peace: Small Wars and the Rise of American Power (Basic Books), which was selected as one of the best books of 2002 by The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times and The Christian Science Monitor, and won the 2003 General Wallace M. Greene Jr. Award, given annually by the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation for the best nonfiction book pertaining to Marine Corps history. For some excerpts from reviews of the book, see here.
