Military Orientalism: Easter War Through Western Eyes
by Patrick Porter
Patrick Porter has written this very interesting book in which he has tried to look at the role of culture in military history, and in particular the argument that there are fixed national cultures and that this can or can’t lead to particular outcomes. And what he is actually saying is that we mustn’t push the cultural interpretation too far.
