This book provides students, faculty, and general readers with specific information and insights into the ways in which official military history has been written and why. Coverage is international in scope. The volume serves as an introduction to two forthcoming books: Official Military Histories Since 1967: Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and India and Official Military Histories Since 1967: The Western Hemisphere and the Pacific Rim. Together, the three books will provide the only comprehensive source of information on historical offices and official histories since Robin Higham's classic book, Official Histories, was published in 1970.
