This sort of approach I find is particularly common in the popular-oriented military history space and I find it very frustrating. Especially because there is also great scholarly work that often comes out of the same presses - but how is the lay reader to know which is which?https://twitter.com/pptsapper/status/1357439613560909830 …

You see a *lot* of this in the reviews in the Journal of Military History, for instance - lots of reviewers looking at books on good topics, but which just don't have the research or expertise to bring it home, written typically by non-academics in popular presses.

Alas, I suspect the $70-a-year membership fee for the Society of Military History (
@SMH_Historians ) is going to be much too pricey to be worth it for the lay reader merely to find out which books are serious. But if you are *really* into Milhist, you should check it out!1 vastaus 0 uudelleentwiittausta 7 tykkäystäNäytä tämä ketju
or it’s better to ask people directly for book recommendations on twitter. what are your favorite books on Roman military history (and don’t discriminate between academic and pop)? Thanks.
