Military history texts discuss the historical record of armed conflict in the history of humanity, its impact on people, societies, and their cultures. Some fundamental subjects of military history study are the causes of war, its social and cultural foundations, military doctrines, logistics, leadership, technology, strategy, and tactics used, and how these have developed over time. Thematic divisions of military history may include Ancient warfare, Medieval warfare, Gunpowder warfare, Industrial warfare, and Modern warfare.

Military strategy texts present ideas for military organizations to achieve their desired strategic goals. Military strategy discusses the planning and conduct of campaigns, the movement and disposition of forces, and how to deceive the enemy. Carl von Clausewitz (1780–1831), defined military strategy as "the employment of battles to gain the end of war." B. H. Liddell Hart defined strategy as "the art of distributing and applying military means to fulfill the ends of policy", which places more emphasis on political aims relative to military goals. Sun Tzu (544-496 BC) is the father of Eastern military strategy and greatly influenced Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese war tactics. His book The Art of War has been very popular and has seen practical implementation in Western societies.

Impressions of a War Correspondent George Lynch Books
Although a war correspondent, Mr. Lynch does plenty of writing about other matters as well. He covers the Boer War (with a couple of pictures), including his being captured by the Boers, and has some graphic descriptions of combat as well as how mundane many combat deaths by gunshot--"Damn, I'm hit!" then dead--often are. His coverage of European atrocities against the Chinese during the Boxer Rebellion isn't as detailed (but there are some repulsive accounts), but he denounces the rapine and slaughter, especially by Russian and French troops. The rest of the book seems to focus on life in London and certain US cities around the turn of the century. The writing is quite dated as are some of the author's notions, but it is an interesting read.By the way, this book is available from Gutenberg.
