Biografía breve
Peter Paret was Mellon Professor in the Humanities Emeritus at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and Raymond A. Spruance Professor of International History at Stanford University. His principal areas of research were the history of war, particularly in the 18th and early 19th century, and the history of European culture from the 18th to the 20th century. He was born in Berlin in 1924 and is a graduate of the University of London (Ph.D., 1960). Before joining the Institute in 1986, he held positions at Princeton University, the University of California, Davis, and Stanford University. In the academic year 2008-09 he gave the Lees Knowles Lectures on the History of War at Cambridge University - the expanded text of which was published in 2009 - and organized an exhibition on the work of the sculptor Ernst Barlach that opened on March 1, 2009 at the Art Museum of Princeton University. Among his ten monographs are Clausewitz and the State (1976); The Berlin Secession (1980); Art as History (1988); and An Artist Against the Third Reich: Ernst Barlach, 1933-38. He has also published two volumes of essays: Understanding War (1992) and German Encounters with Modernism, 1840-1945 (2001). In 2012 he coauthored Myth and Modernity: Barlach's Drawings on the Nibelungen with Helga Thieme. He was awarded the Great Cross of the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany in 2013, having been an officer of the Order for the past decade. In 2017 he won the Pritzker Literature Award. He died in Salt Lake City, Utah, on September 11, 2020 at age 96.

Read page 677-702 of this book for Week 6, WWII in Europe, as part of S&W during the fall trimester at the NWC. Used this section to take helpful notes for my paper on Allied strategy that helped my argument that Allied victory was not inevitable due to resource superiority.

From the S&W syllabus: Matloff provides a policy and strategy overview of the Grand Alliance in the European theater of World War II.

This was a hard book to get started. But once I finished it, I had to go back and re-read, because it put it all together. Especially if you are an 11Bravo! (If you don't know what an 11B is don't ask, you can't understand)

Unlike standard texts, this book is an anthology of salient topics of military history. It isn't really meant to be read straight through. I have had this book as a supplemental text in two different military history classes and that is where it excepts. The essays vary in quality however, or rather, readability. They are all great essays, just some topics/authors needed more of an editorial hand than this volume received. In particular Henry Guerlac and John Sly's essays are tedious. Though they still beat sifting through the material they summarize. All in all, I highly recommned this as a supplemental text. The 28 essays cover a broad range and has something for everyone.… (más)
