History of War and Conflict
Brill has a well-established and active publishing portfolio in military history and history of warfare broadly, with strengths in a range of thematic disciplines, from ancient times to the twentieth century, and offering a broad geographical coverage. The flagship book series History of Warfare has been publishing new scholarship on a variety of topics for over two decades, casting a wide net but focusing particularly on historically less-studied topics, periods, or regions of warfare. Our collection of military history journals offers both broad and more specific focuses in the field, while the portfolio is further supported by a growing range of online resources, in the form of scholarly reference work collections, and digitized, curated primary source collections.
Below is a selection of our book series, related books, journals, and online resources.
