About the Society
A SOCIETY WITH THE AMBITION TO STIMULATE A BROAD RANGE OF DISCUSSION ABOUT THE PLACE OF WAR IN SOCIETY, ITS IMPACTS ON CULTURES AND INDIVIDUALS AND HOW IT HAS BEEN PERCEIVED, EXPERIENCED AND LEGITIMATED.
"Whilst our central concern is the history of warfare, we also seek to encourage an open and inter-disciplinary dialogue that facilitates a much wider appreciation for the role of war in generating social, political, economic and military change."
