5.0 out of 5 stars Superb work brought the meaning of warfare to a new level, September 16, 2004
I read this book in 1970 and was astounded. I was teaching a course in military history to an advanced military officer course. Everyone was very appreciative of Ropp's work and even 34 years later it sticks in my mind as seminal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still a Great Starting Point for Learning the History of War, December 30, 2011
By 
Federal Farmer (Montgomery, AL United States) - See all my reviews
Ropp pretty much initiated the establishment of military history as an academic pursuit (even if to the chagrin of radicals). Although published in 1959, it has stood the test of time. Very readable and educational, even its footnotes function as a historiographical essay on the status of military history at the time of its publication.

5.0 out of 5 stars A meticulously researched and scholarly work, February 9, 2001
War In The Modern World is a seminal, comprehensive survey of the social, political, military, and technological aspects of modern warfare from the Renaissance to the Cold War. This superbly written and presented, insightful informative, meticulously researched and scholarly work by historian and professor of history emeritus at Duke University Theodore Ropp is an outstanding contribution to any personal or academic military history collection, and is a very highly recommended addition to history and military studies reading lists.
